-mcpu and -mtune are synonymous.  You really should -march here (but
the result is non-generic code).  Keep in mind that GCC does not
contain an instruction scheduler for the Pentium 4s.  I also believe
that the GCC switches are not fine-grained enough to cover the various
Pentium 4 variants.  For instance, some chips don't like the CMOV
instruction at all, but others can process it with decent speed.
