What it does is tell nsplugin to NOT use a wrapper script to get 32 bit flash to work in 64 bit programs. If you look at the page I mentioned, you'll see it's truly a minor edit--there will already be other things in there, you simply add two words. :) > > It really should run faster, shouldn't it?

It always feels a bit snappier to me, but I suspect that is completely pyschological. :) I don't think you'll turn around and say, WOW, I can't believe how fast that is now. You should see a difference in compile times if you build anything from source. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Giles: This one?
