hm interesting that should be about right. and I think i may have used that
before now that I think about it.
I think that was my7 point is that it was not processor specific since i have
been doing some custom athlon builds that are highly optimized and it has not
changed this as far as I can tell. I dont get this with firebird though.

well the generic nightlies from mozilla.org. I rarely run the official builds.
They all within reason seem to run about the same sometimes I'll get one that
was a bad build but it's not often.

Ah yes I suppose when they dont use it for thier own work then they dont care
as much when it is broken.
On this filosiphy I have been working on a custom auto install of windows xp
also. It consumed allot of time but you know what after working with it and
getting it working well I decided that I had a choice of what I want to
support with that level of above and beyond the call of duty type or support.
I decided that I would rather have a working linux and so to that end I have
been putting extra time lately into the linux apps I want to see working
well. If I dont like the way gimp for instance is done well then I'll offer
my help to get it to the place were others will find it more useful also.
It's a hard choice but I know which os I want to support. I would see this as
the same. They dont want to support kde and so they dont. It's that simple. I
feel the same about gnome and when I roll out a server it runs kde and my
customers love the way it acts more or less like windows.
