Is that documented?  In /sys/i386/conf/NOTES I see:

# You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on);
# deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make
# parts of the system run faster.
#
cpu             I486_CPU
cpu             I586_CPU                # aka Pentium(tm)
cpu             I686_CPU                # aka Pentium Pro(tm)

I've always commented out I486_CPU and I586_CPU.  Shouldn't leaving in 
I686_CPU enable all the features it can use?  Do you mean I've spent all 
these years using un-optimized bcopy?!?
