Most of the things discussed here should be portable, or at least=20
applicable everywhere.  Surely enable-final, disable-debug, and optimizing=

one's kernel for lower latency can be done on every OS.  Does the=20
replacement malloc not work for you?

KDE can't fix one platform's linker-caused startup times generically,=20
though.  Fixing the linker necessarily takes some sort of=20
platform-specific fix for that linker:  maybe an add-on tool, a fix to the=
=20
platform tools, or some extra configuration that takes advantage of the=20
existing tools.

If you know of such fixes for FreeBSD, please share them with us.
