Have you performed any tests other than perception-based comparison of Firefox start-times under two different [unspecified] configurations? Any benchmark results? Is it just Firefox that starts more quickly? Or do you see faster builds when compiling software, compressing archives, encoding Ogg files, or FPS values in graphical rendering applications? Can you post even simple "time command" based results which compare execution times of several programs? First you say the compiler optimisation flags are insufficient. Then, with the assistance from list subscribers, it is found out that more likely the faster start-times are due to a different preloading strategy. It's not the first time somebody bumps into this list and claims that the compiler flags are either "wrong", "should be for i686 not i386" or "don't optimise enough". It happens once a year or so and is covered by the list archives. Usually, there is interest in discussing it. Even experts comment on such topics and give serious answers instead of treating the original poster like a troll. Nobody would mind if they ignored topics like this one. But what is missing in all these cases is a scientific approach to analysing what you believe is a problem. Even the step where you would collect data, from which to proceed, is missing. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
