--nextPart1698006.b4UMMjdU76 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hi, There has been an article recently published by phoronix=20 (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=3Darticle&item=3Dpcbsd_vs_kubuntu&nu= m=3D1)=20 that compares PC-BSD to Kubuntu. Kubuntu uses GCC 4.3.3 compared to=20 =46reeBSD's GCC 4.2.2. There is a considerable performance difference betw= een=20 the two OS's, the article contributes this difference to the compiler. =20 In order to check if this is so (and to get the speed improvements of GCC=20 4.3+) one needs to compile the ports (and preferable world/kernel as well)= =20 with GCC 4.3+. =20 Is there an easy way to set this up and does anyone know the compatibility = of=20 world/kernel/ports with GCC 4.3+? Also has anyone tried this and benchmarked the result?
