If all the other stuff isn't being re-compiled, "-march=prescott" probably includes them by default, so there's no point in re-building your system. The CFLAGS were probably included by default. If you need a speed boost in Firefox, there is some additional tweaking that can be done. The pango library allows Firefox to simultaneously render US English text (if that's your system locale) *AND* Chinese, and other similar text. It slows down Firefox in the process. If you're willing to give up on Asiatic text, you can cause Firefox to not link against pango, by including the line... www-client/mozilla-firefox moznopango ...in /etc/portage/package.use It's your decision whether occasional Asiatic scripts or a faster Firefox is worth more to you. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm not repeating myself I'm an X Window user...
