If all the other stuff isn't being re-compiled, "-march=prescott" |
| 11 |
probably includes them by default, so there's no point in re-building |
| 12 |
your system. The CFLAGS were probably included by default. |

If you need a speed boost in Firefox, there is some additional |
| 15 |
tweaking that can be done. The pango library allows Firefox to |
| 16 |
simultaneously render US English text (if that's your system locale) |
| 17 |
*AND* Chinese, and other similar text. It slows down Firefox in the |
| 18 |
process. If you're willing to give up on Asiatic text, you can cause |
| 19 |
Firefox to not link against pango, by including the line... |

|
| 21 |
www-client/mozilla-firefox moznopango |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
...in /etc/portage/package.use It's your decision whether occasional |
| 24 |
Asiatic scripts or a faster Firefox is worth more to you. |
