did you enabled the preempt option in kernel ? do you use hdparm to enable DMA and tune your hdd ? Hi Martin, Yes and yes. preempt kenrel and hdparm. The diference are not on kernel or hardware. As I said, when I run Mozilla (compiled) on Gentoo it is slowest then Mozilla (bin) on Gentoo. Why? Thanxs... Bernardo S. A. Silva Because gcc3 is a big bad bug that they had trown out to the world to try and get debugged. For this reason a too optimized gcc3 compiled mozilla breaks in many cases, so have to cut down on the optimizations. What must I now do ? Put out a fast mozilla, one that segfault every now and then, or maybe not even start? Or should it be more reliable, but slower ? We are being forced more and more into using it, but it miscompiles, and are damn slow :/ This looks like a good candidate for closure, it seems like it belongs summarized in a FAQ on the website rather than here in bugzilla. To summarize, GCC 3 is Satan and its seed should be wiped from the earth. |
