> I didn't notice the 64 bit python compile being especially slow when I
tested it but then again python compiles very quickly anyway so it could
have taken a lot longer than a 32 bit compiler. Can you use strace or some
thing like that to figure out which part of the compilation is slow? I.e.
clang or the assembler or the linker?
I attached the strace output I got while compiling sqlite.c (I added the
time it took + the actually executed command (in mozilla-
esr24/db/sqlite/src) above the strace output) on (non-VM) Ubuntu 12.04
(once 32bit, once 64bit). There are differences (mmap vs. mmap2 e.g.) but
I am not sure how to map those to the latency of the 64bit build.

also the arrival of an SSD drive causing me to reinstall several OSes.
No problem :)
> The crash looks like a NULL pointer access to me. Is it possible to
enable more complete diagnostic output in Firefox?
Not without compiling it with debug symbols and without optimization. If I
don't get the 64bit build running today I'll start a debug Firefox build
in the afternoon to have the results tomorrow morning...

issues.
Thanks, that's really appreciated.
