10 I switched completely over to gcc 4.x before it when stable in the tree, it
11 started producing better binaries for most applications than gcc 3.4
12 faster just a little before 4.1.0 came out.

14 I believe there's still at least one package that doesn't build with gcc
15 4.x (kqemu), so there's some reason to still stay on 3.4 if you are
16 cautious.
