Linux 0.7 optimized for P4 SSE2 (slim)

[vande198]

For those who want the absolutely fastest build.......

I've been tinkering around lately with different build options, and here's one I just made:

GTK1 (no xft)

Features: Hardly any. Optimized for maximum speed. (see .mozconfig at end of post)

Location: http://www.msu.edu/~vande198/MozillaFirebird-p4-sse2-gtk1-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Pentium 4 w/SSE2 support
Platforum: Arch Linux Current
Compiler: GCC 3.3.2
GLIBC: 2.3.2
Opt. Flags: -O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse,387 [-O2 has been benchmarked as being faster than -O3]
Requires Pentium4 or later with SSE2 support

Here's my .mozconfig:

Code: Select all

mk_add_options MOZ_PHOENIX=1

ac_add_options --disable-ldap
ac_add_options --disable-mailnews
ac_add_options --enable-extensions=cookie,xml-rpc,xmlextras,p3p,pref,transformiix,universalchardet,typeaheadfind,webservices
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --disable-composer
ac_add_options --disable-profilesharing
ac_add_options --disable-installer

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../fbbuild

ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-tests

ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --enable-strip-libs

ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse,387"
ac_add_options --disable-pedantic

Very nice. Are you going to do nightly builds too?

[vande198]

At the moment, no because (1) I don't want to really hassle with CVS and (2) exams and term papers are coming up .

[GNU/Ben]

Hmm... Well, if you don't mind, I might do some myself...

[vande198]

cool....could you try a gtk2/xft build with the above mozconf? I've had problems trying to build one.
