It is not something I think you want to do on a workstation, I'd suggest rebuilding only those individual packages for apps you run constantly. Build firefox, the KDE packages, xorg-x11, and the kernel, perhaps a very few others. If absolute optimization is your goal, go Gentoo, and experience that extra 5% Alan is talking about in his post. I've found rebuilding i686 for the constant use packages makes them 'feel' faster, but I am not positive it is more than illusion. Rebuilding FC2 will take longer than a complete build of Gentoo. Why will it help very little? FC already used the best possible choice of instruction order for pentium-pro and up machines, which means unless your app is going to be using SSE instructions there isn't that much more you can do. -- Andrew Farris (lordmorgul) <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - CPE student, Cal Poly SLO, pgp keyid 4430F405 pgp.mit.edu "..the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
