Tor hogging cpu

I am running Tor on 2 Gentoo machines, without any problems. The busier 
box uses more resources, but it's not causing problems (it runs on a 
slow dual celeron 366 mhz with only 128MB ram).
Could it have something to do with the used compiler optimizations ?
I use CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -Os -pipe -funroll-loops -fforce-addr 
-falign-functions=4"
