Yes, it is Fast! I belive it is even faster on startup... 

One Question:

Do I HAVE TO put it into my ports tree? Or can I put it somewhere into
my home directory tree?

e.g.
1 cd ~/myports/www
2 svn co https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/freebsd-gecko/branches/experimental/www/firefox-devel
3 cd firefox-devel
4 make install clean


Does that work? Where doesthe distfile go to then?
