Hey all. I have been using Fink for about 9 months and enjoying it, but it produces some really really slow executables. I decided to start fresh, and I started editing the .info files to add SetCFLAGS: -fast -mcpu=7450 and also -fPIC on libraries. This made a HUGE difference especially in load times.

ethereal and all its dependancies were built this way, and it loads up in about half a second on my 17" 1.5ghz PB. Compare this with over 1 second on my 2.66ghz p4 Gentoo linux machine with the entire system optimized for a p4.

On my 1ghz 17" PB, it took something on the order of 5 seconds to load ethereal.

I was wondering if there's any way to make fink do this without me having to edit all the files for bundle-kde. :) KDE used to take over a minute to load on the previous install. I'm hoping it'll be reasonable with these flags set.

Steve
