Re: gcc 3.1

Not everybody in this world has the money to buy a new PC. Look at most of thecountries in the third-world. Linux (and ofcourse KDE and other open-source)has very much chances, because thos people don't have much money to spend and Linux is free. But if people have to spend a lot of money to run programs with acceteble performance they will proberly stick to a system like Windows 95, 98 or ME. Simply because these sytems run very well on low-resource machines.

This is certainly true.
But it ain't simple to make it run faster.
Another option would be to have one quite fast server and a bunch of slow (e.g. old pentiums) boxes acting as X terminals.

well.. i hope gcc 3.1 will be further improved (a lot!) during the next months.

another idea: what about using the intel compiler suite instead of gcc-3.1? anybody tried this one together with kde 3.0/3.1? i've read the intel compiler made a lot of progress regarding "gcc compatibility" recently.. and it's supposed to be faster and create about 10 to 30 percent faster binaries than gcc 2.95.3.
