About tbind.exe

Post by tete009 »

Hello.
Tbind.exe is not a program for preloading the modules.

The modules of my builds have been rebased by ReBase.Exe, etc.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us ... rebase.asp

Tbind.exe 'binds' the modules. For more information, please see BindImageEx's Remarks.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us ... mageex.asp

But I cannot feel the modules are loaded faster after binding in my environment (Athlon XP 2500+, Windows 2000)...

These builds seem pretty fast to me! Everything is stable so far as well. Thanks for the effort.

thanks for this built. Seems to be as fast as Mmoy's 1.0.7. fast and stable. Don't you do a seamonkey browser only?

Only problem I'm seeing right now is when Tbird or Firefox has been minimized, the restore is slower than usual. Memory is being swapped?

Don't use tbind.exe, but your builds are great! Runs very fast, I like them :)

I tried your G7 trunk and its amazing: It loads fast as hell and its 7-9 % faster than the fastest fx I had on my machine (scragz rendering test, PentiumM, 1.7 Mhz, 1GB, WinXPSP2).

One thing here: Java does not work. I tried all kinds of installation, but no success (J2SE RE 5.0 Update 6).

But this is a small thing compared to the advantages. Great work! It's my reference browser from now on.

So for G7 builds...Replace with G7 private build DLLs *and* mmx2 for P4 systems? Or replace with G7 DLLs *only*? What about for P3 systems...?

I have no plans to build SeaMonkey for now.

I usually use my Fx 1.5 build on my PC (Windows 2000 SP4, 512MB), but I have never seen the problem...

On my PC, my Fx 1.5 and Trunk can run Java applets though I had installed the same Java environment..

For P4 systems, *and* is the best because MMX+ is contained within SSE by Intel.
Similarly, the combination of "g6" and "mmx2" is the best for P3.

By the way, Enhanced 3DNow! includes MMX+, too.

I will give this build a shot, especially your Thunderbird build


If you want to figure out what extensions your CPU supports, download WCPUID or a similar CPU identification program. It will tell you what extensions your CPU supports. Then you can just choose then :)

When you say modules, are you referring to the DLL files? I am not very literate at these things.

Is it possible to bind, lets say, other builds to your DLL files?

When I say <q>rebase</q> the modules are DLL files.
When <q>bind</q> they are DLL and EXE files.

xaueious wrote:Is it possible to bind, lets say, other builds to your DLL files?

I cannot recommend it because I modified my C/C++ run-time libraries and I made some functions inline.
If using the files of different builds together, this may create unexpected errors.

New Tete builds of 1.5 + DLLs are out now: http://www1.plala.or.jp/tete009/en-US/h ... l#Y2005_12

I tried the G7 version and guess what: It's faster than the (very fast) previous build. Great work!

There is no unbinder.
The module binding is not very important for using my builds. Therefore you don't have to do that.

I like your new build very, very much!
It combines the smoothness of the stipe builds with the snappiness of the pigfoot builds.
From my side very much appreciated! Thank you! :mrgreen:
