Re: egcs-optimized GNOME -- WOW!

I could be very mistaken here, but if I am, blame sar (hi kevin!)

gcc was prolly installed on yer machine by yer distro.  

egcs does a 3-step bootstrap process during compilation, so that it can
compile itself with itself (sounds odd, don't it?) and set proper
optimizations for your particular machine.

So if you compiled egcs, then that could be why it's faster.  Other
reasons could exist of course, I'm just goin' what sar told me earlier
today when I compiled it.
