Everyone have probably seen the benchmarks about the poor performance of Firefox on Linux compared to Windows. Apparently even Wine+Firefox beats native firefox (actually I tried it and its true).
Some say it is because Win FFX is compiled with PGO ( profile-guided optimization) and without in most Linux distros.
So, my question - can I request that FFX be compiled with PGO? or is there some technical reason its not done so already?
So doing it automated isn't that easy since to create the profile you have to exercise stuff in a running Firefox (at least on Linux). I'm open for input how that could be done in a packaging environment.

Any pointers on where to start to get Firefox built? I installed FFX 3.1 beta src and is now struggling to get autoconf to generate a configure file? Some HOWTOs available? (tried the Mozilla Dev page, but its not working)
Why not start from the .spec file and just build as RPM?
Ciao, Marcus
Ok, will check how to mod die spec file to include profile optimization. Manne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
