If it results in some form of improvement in performance, I'm all for it. I don't think we don't want a degredation in performance just to gain some size benefits. Though from past experience, it results in both size _and_ performance improvements for most code. I'm of the opinion that we should definitely try it. Too bad the "Summer of Code" thing is over. This would have made a great project for some eager coder to play with. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
