I agree it's a good idea to try the bin. Also perhaps to try to to back to |
| 28 |
as vanilla USE flags as possible. IIRC, my only deviances from the default |
| 29 |
USE flags are to disable pulseaudio and enable clang (though that was only |
| 30 |
recently after the announcement about how it was supposed to improve |
| 31 |
performance so much, and was to become the mozilla-preferred method). |

Fortunately, at least Firefox builds relatively quickly, unlike chromium |
| 34 |
(~40 min vs ~2.5h on my machine). |
