As I understand it -O1 only turns on straightforward optimisations such as keeping often used local variables in CPU registers. On a CPU with many registers, such as the Alpha, this gives a huge performance lift. I presume you picked up the version of iceweasel I uploaded to the unreleased distribution? Now that we have a recent iceweasel/xulrunner built some of its dependencies are also getting built. A few more delicacies for people to munch upon should appear at your favourite mirror within a day or two.
