Optimized distro for i686

I just have a question regarding a distro I ran across from
distrowatch, called Fox Linux (http://www.foxlinux.org/) that says it
is "optimized for i686"... does this mean not only using the 686
kernel, but recompiled packages as well? I could not find any details
on their website to explain further. It looks pretty interesting,
being a KDE distro based on FC4.

I guess I am curious as to what is involved in "optimizing" a distro
for a certain CPU/platform.

Thanks for any explanation on this topic, and Happy New Year to everyone!

-Steve.
