Yes, because it's a different part of the build. Personal experience; I do the contributed SSE-only Pale Moon build for older (i.e Pentium 3 class) linux machines. To qualify for official Pale Moon branding, I have to stick with standard specs. For personal use at home on a T400 Lenovo, I can do as I please. My home version uses unwind tables, but the official version does not. The ".bz2" compressed tarball is several megabytes smaller for my home version than for the official SSE-only version. It's even more noticable when extracted/uncompressed. Obviously, this reduction only applies to elf-binaries and libraries, not to sqlite databases, JSON, XML, text files, etc. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
