scragz Firebird builds


Question

I was about to ditch my MozJF Firebird and just wait for the official 0.8 when I decided to try the scragz build.

Very impressive. Fast loading and fast performance. Builds optimized for various machines, choose wisely.

Still with the cursor bug, but so what.

Scragz makes same built as aebrahim did in the past. Unfortunatly, aebrahim quit doing built every day or every 2 days.

this is the same builts compiled in .NET

VERY fast apply on SSE and SSE2, so can accomodate most ppl of these days

I am the unfortunate one in the family who is stuck with a P2. Scragz doesn't care for a P2 at all, so I have no luck in trying out his build :(

I don't think there is much that can be done as far as optimizing for a P2. The default builds, compiled with no specific processor optimizations, would be the same as G6 (optimizes code for the Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, and Pentium 4 processors).

With several test results I've seen from varity systems so far, it seem that optimized build will run faster only on the newer and faster CPU. To my conclusion, if you are using CPU slower than Pentium III 650MHz then better stick with non-optimized build(official). It will run faster than using Optimized one.

My tests showed a 10 - 20% improvement in page rendering time with optimized builds. DHTML/JS tests were inconclusive.

V impressed with the new build. Does appear flaky on websites re:loading time but Im sure that its more of my connection than anything else.

Now if Firebird had a back option just like operas Id convert straight away

Scragz builds rock... :D If you havent tried 'em, its really worth a go

Sad to see aebrahim give up optimizing. Anyone know why scragz is goin' off the trunk and not off the branch for his .8+ builds? (Maybe even asking scragz himself here?)

What's the cursor bug? I think I'll wait for the official .8 Firebird, I hope it's right around the corner...

Sometimes if you middle click to do universal scrolling, the cicular cursor will stay imprinted in Firebird even if you chaneg the web page. Closing it and restarting fixes it. It's a rare bug.

Popular demand, nothing much was going on with the branch, and for a time there weren't any official trunk nightlies available. I will be making some 0.8 release builds when the time comes.

Oh, and new builds (2004.01.26) are compiling right now.
