<li>On x86 targets, code containing floating-point calculations may
- run significantly slower when compiled with GCC 4.5 in strict C99
+ run significantly more slowly when compiled with GCC 4.5 in strict C99
conformance mode than they did with earlier GCC versions. This is due
to stricter standard conformance of the compiler and can be avoided by
using the option <code>-fexcess-precision=fast</code>; also see
