Put me in your shoes, what would you test to see which one is the true
choice?
I'd start by seeing which one (if either) will boot the system (with
CONFIG_X86_GENERIC disabled). In the past, when I've had trouble
deciding, this has actually eliminated more possibilities than you
might expect.
Beyond that, I don't know for certain what I would test with. Perhaps
I'd start with lmbench, or if I was using the system for 3D stuff,
perhaps framerates from glxgears or a 3D game. If I was using the
system for network stuff, I'd run network benchmarks. (Perhaps disk
benchmarks would be good too, but my experience is that network
performance tends to suffer first and/or more severely, especially if
Gigabit Ethernet or slow CPU's are involved.)
If both choices boot, the performance difference may be quite small.
