The running speed of applications is vastly improved under gcc 3.2.x, sometimes by 30% over gcc 2.95.x, in my experience. To the OP -- any speed improvement from gcc 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 would probably be marginal. If some particular port really bothers you with its slow performance, try recompiling (though it's unlikely to help), otherwise don't bother. - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
