In general, gcc seems to do much better when it is allowed to use the bwx instructions. In fact, even if you don't have a machine that does bwx instructions, it is safe to turn them on for files that crash gcc -- FreeBSD will emulate bwx instructions on non-bwx hardware This is slow, but if you are desparate.. FWIW, kde is dog-slow on alpha. Konqueror takes about 45 seconds from invocation to the first appearance of a window (its the only kde app running, so it has to start a bunch of kde goop). To switch from the default file-browser mode it comes up in to a web page takes roughly 20 seconds. This is on a 600MHz UP1000 (ev67) with 450MB free after Konqueror is launched.
