'''What the project is all about'''
Currently, Fedora only supports armv5tel hardware. With the introduction of armv7 architecture, Fedora-ARM is planning to upgrade its Fedora Universe. While it seems logical, re-compiling the whole Fedora package is a strenuous task; therefore before deciding to recompile, Fedora-ARM needs to make sure if optimizing certain system binaries to use armv7 architecture proves provides significant performance difference against the currently used armv5tel architecturecodes.
This project aims for that sole purpose. By running a benchmark and compiler optimizations, Fedora-ARM can contrast both technologies and use the results to decide if it's really worth to recompile the whole Fedora Universe to use armv7 architecture.
