Yes, short of testing time.artooro wrote:Is there a reason you don't use autovectorization in your builds?
I'll see if I find time to compile a build with autovectorization and compare its performance to my regular build this weekend...
Or if you have already tested and verified its faster, please post some results!

OK, I've now done a little test. This is not a comprehensive test but at least it's something.
with av:
• CSS Rendering Benchmark: 1306ms, 361ms.
• BenchJS - JavaScript: 24.15 seconds.
w/o av:
• CSS Rendering Benchmark: 1498ms, 342ms.
• BenchJS - JavaScript: 23.60 seconds
As you can see the CSS rendering is slightly faster with autovectorization but JavaScript is slightly slower although not by much.
Firefox startup time is noticably slower without av. There is about a 2 second difference on my iMac G4.
So from my few tests it looks like autovectorization is worth it.

artooro. As your small test show, there are no major speed improvement using autovectorization..
I'll perform some tests myself, then post the results here.
Raptor007. Nice to see you have found a solution to your middle-click problem, even if its not a perfect one.
Lets see if a G5 optimized 1.0.4 version hit this forum in a few days.

im using the 0622 nightly of this build and i tried downloading the new official firefox google toolbar (toolbar.google.com). however, upon installation, the extensions manager says (in red) Deer Park is checking for a compatibility update to Google... and doesn't allow any right clicking options or anything. Any ideas to get it working?
edit: now im getting unexpected error -203 if i try to install it again.

I tried to install it yesterday. The Google page says that it is comptatible with 1.0+, whatever that means. Anyway, it doesn't install correctly on nightly builds (and crashed my browser on the way). It does work fine on FF 1.04.
PS - the error -203 shouldn't be there, if you use the latest builds.
BTW, powerbook, if you're bored one of these days:

You now can make a build without menubar...

I saw the article and picture that Josh posted 2 days ago.

Looks really promising, but I'll wait until the menu bar works before I give it a try.
