  Leap is easy - i586 is used only for 32bit packages, you can use that as playground.

  There are people using Tumbleweed on i586 so it may take some effort to convince community, show graphs, run benchmarks, etc.

Use one asterisk to *emphasize*

Use two asterisks for **strong emphasis**

- Use hyphens
- for unordereed
- lists

  For compute intensive programs this might bring some performance, especially if activating SSE2 (which all x86_64 machines support by default). Of course it will limit the usefulness of the 32bit distro itself, but that's by design, and if backed by enough speedup might be acceptable. The difficult part will be to sensibly benchmark this for real apps, like steam (does it even have performance problems?).
