126849 - Make optimised Pentium 4 builds of Mozilla for Windows and Linux

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, enhancement)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

The P4 is substantially different than the P3 and there should be an optimised 
Tinderbox for Windows and Linux (If g++ is optimised for P4) that is offered 
for people to use that have a P4. There would be a sufficient performance 
boost for them. Included should be support for hyperthreading - especially 
since I'm planning on getting Prestonia chips ;-) (http://news.com.com/2100-

-> Build Config ?
BTW: The P4 sucks...

We don't have enough resources to cover the build configurations that we
currently support much less to start making & supporting specific-processor
optimized releases. <Insert someone saying that mozilla.org is not a Mozilla
end-user distributor.> Feel free to help yourself to the source and contribute a
P4 optimized build.
