Yes, because it's a different part of the build. Personal experience; |
| 8 |
I do the contributed SSE-only Pale Moon build for older (i.e Pentium 3 |
| 9 |
class) linux machines. To qualify for official Pale Moon branding, I |
| 10 |
have to stick with standard specs. For personal use at home on a T400 |
| 11 |
Lenovo, I can do as I please. My home version uses unwind tables, but |
| 12 |
the official version does not. The ".bz2" compressed tarball is several |
| 13 |
megabytes smaller for my home version than for the official SSE-only |
| 14 |
version. It's even more noticable when extracted/uncompressed. |

Obviously, this reduction only applies to elf-binaries and libraries, |
| 17 |
not to sqlite databases, JSON, XML, text files, etc. |
