I'm sure Carmack will comment on this before too long in a .plan, but I seem to remember way back in the day that there were optimized dlls that were released by third parties. I think carmack was opposed to using architecture-specific dlls at all for running Q3 but I honestly don't remember why. It's been too long for me but you might wanna search the shacknews archived comments. I believe there was some discussion of this a few years ago when the dlls first were released.
