You fool! You're just losing precious clock cycles by not taking the 3
days to completely recompile your kernel, KDE, and Firefox!
I wonder how many times you have to start Firefox to make that .3 sec
difference add up to the amount of time it took to compile the damn
thing...

Surely more time than I care about.
I'll freely admit one of the reasons I liked FreeBSD was I had the
sources to the whole dang release right there if I wanted them.
However trying magic "funroll-loops" and other delicious sounding
options to gcc never seemed to make my 266MHz pentium any faster.
Maybe funroll-loops aren't delicious though... Maybe eating
funroll-loops hits the gag reflex and will cause you to
fomit-frame-pointer.
