Firefox for windows is compiled with PGO via ICC which apparently
improves performance quite a bit. I believe there are issues when
firefox is compiled with GCC via PGO and in any case, there is no
support for PGO building of Firefox @ gentoo afaik. I wish I had the
time and knowledge to whip up an ebuild that could do the magic to
test it out tho.
Any takers ? :P

Stability, probably not. Performance, probably so. I haven't had any stability issues aside from the
NSPR troubles.
