How is this supposed to be used? This is a simple hello world program:
rsc@thebe:tmp$ ls -l test-2.61/configure test-2.63b/configure
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rsc rsc 741280 Mar 31 15:00 test-2.61/configure
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rsc rsc 705596 Mar 31 15:02 test-2.63b/configure
-> 5% size reduction
time (./configure && make) -> real 7.93 s (with 2.61)
7.39 s (with 2.63a)
Do I have to do something special to get the better execution time?
rsc
