Why don't Fedora Project make an i586 optimized binaries (as Mandrake does)? Some says about 40% performance increase with it. I am really doubt anybody uses FC on machines slower than Pentium. What's you thoughts?

Not really the right list, but the topic has been repeatedly covered in detail on fedora-devel-list:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-August/msg01155.html
That's the beginning of one of the many threads on this topic. The short answer: it doesn't help. Read that thread for the long answer.
