It's also 4-5 times faster than the original client. I see. You can of course use those binaries if you like. The goal of the port and those binaries are different: the binaries are ind= eed optimized for SSE2 and SSE3 enabled 64-bit (amd64) machines and will not run on other machines. The port is more like a wrapper around the native source code so it will run on any FreeBSD machine. I guess the optimizations from Lunatic also make their way back into the official source code? > /Morgan Regards, Rene --=20 http://www.rene-ladan.nl/ GPG fingerprint =3D ADBC ECCD EB5F A6B4 549F 600D 8C9E 647A E564 2BFC (subkeys.pgp.net)
