Yeah, I monitor GCC changelogs closely... A while back they were talking about their new code de-duplication pass and how, as an example, in Firefox it removed over 30,000 duplicate functions... I really don't know what's going on over at the mozilla project these days. I still use Seamonkey because it has all my e-mails but its performance is fantastically awful these days. -- Strange Game.
