Swiftweasel
Swiftweasel was a fork of Mozilla Firefox available for the Linux platform only. Optimization Swiftweasel is optimized using the following methods: P.G.O. As of the 3.0.3 release, Swiftweasel has shifted its primary optimization from processor specific to profile-guided optimization (PGO). It is a two step building process. The application is compiled one time and then run to produce a profile. The profile is then used to guide a second compilation of the application. Some of the older optimizations are still used, but there are now only Intel and AMD versions of each build. It is released compiled in a tar.gz package. There are also separate installers for Ubuntu and Arch linux available through their communities. Binary code optimization Swiftweasel is compiled with options that optimize for speed rather than binary size. Compiled with the -O3 compile flag (the highest level),with the resulting Swiftweasel binary being larger than that of Firefox. Firefox is compiled with the -Os compile flag, which is for binary size. Binaries incorporate additional instruction sets: Intel and AMD: SSE, SSE2, SSE3, and MMX. AMD only: 3DNow! Optimization specific to the build microprocessor architecture. Intel 32bit: Pentium 4 (Prescott), Pentium 4, Pentium M, Pentium III, Pentium II; Intel
