What's the point? Please clarify what you want changed, and submit a *minimal* patch to the package making those changes. Your PKGBUILD there changes way too much, for little to no effect.

disable PGO (PGO -> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-820404-start-0.html), jemalloc would be nice, i will submit a "minimal" patch later today.

the actual PKGBUILD includes a lot of bugfixes for bugs resulting from wrong usage of mozconfig, i think it would help in the future.

We enable PGO because Mozilla does so for their builds. According to them it's a measurable performance increase.

For i686 Mozilla uses a multilib build system to work around the memory problems. We don't do that (right now), so PGO is disabled for i686.

jemalloc is already enabled by default. No need to enable it explicitly.

the archlinux firefox feels slower than my gentoo hardened (a lot overhead PaX/SELinux) unprofiled firefox, because of this i looked into about:buildconfig and the PKGBUILD.

Thx for your time, close invalid
