Neither hurry nor x86_64.
But the browser performance is satisfactory.
Thank you.
On a 8 year old laptop with celeron 1,6GHz processor and 2GB RAM it takes
about 10 hours to rebuild firefox and thunderbird.
Performance is great for working, but when updating the ports I leave it
building over night.
Lately I have been able to use a server at work for package building with
poudriere which works very well.
I guess FreeBSD people are close to having a new package infrastructure and
look forward to this.
