How much faster, and under what circumstances? (startup? running?) mozilla filters some build flags out: its worth reading the top of the mozilla ebuild to see why.
In any case, you will not likely see any gain whilst running an app like mozilla as its dependent on a lot of other things like network. BillK -O2 is better than -O3, but adding extra flags seems to produce at best only a couple of percent gain in most cases, and possibly at the cost of stability. Some processor intensive apps will benefit more, but mozilla is not one of them. On Fri, 2003-11-07 at 13:11, Meka[ni] wrote: > Someone here said that -O2 and one more flag is much better than -O3.
