I dropped some working, and nicely optimized apps also. (xv, xanim, mpeg_play) 30% speed improvement... there are also copies of cc,as,cc1 in the gcc directory. these are from standard FreeBSD-current sources, but compiled with the i2.7.0 compiler. They produce the same code as the non optimized binaries, but are a bit faster. They have not been fully tested. the X apps are linked against xfree-3.1.2, and FreeBSD-current. as you might have guessed, the tweeked gcc-i2.7.0 will not compile a kernel.
