Assuming you're talking about a PowerPC machine the answer is no, not
really. You can pass -mcpu=7400 and -mtune=7400 above 3.0 (IIRC) but
this will affect scheduling just slightly. The difference between the
PPC750 (G3) and the 7400 (G4) is minimal while the 7450 (newer G4s)
have a longer pipeline and other changes to achieve higher clock speeds;
using -mcpu=7450 -mtune=7450 in 3.1 or CVS might help here but I such a
machine to benchmark it.
