On a related topic (which had been burning under my fingernails for a while) The FreeBSD binaries (as on the ISO image) - are they compiled with gcc or something else. The reason why I ask: Maybe the binaries would be better optimized than if I compiled it myself. On the other hand, I can run the optimizations specifically for my machine, so if gcc is used for the binaries, then I'd be better off like this.
