i thought this was pretty interesting stuff. some guy is recompiling the firefox code to be optimized for a processor-to-processor basis. neat.
These builds are compiled for the Win32 platform using Microsoft's free Visual C++ Toolkit and are optimized for specific AMD and Intel CPUs and. To determine what optimization flags were used in a particular build, type about:buildconfig in the address bar of the browser or look in the .mozconfig file located in \Firefox\_moox. For additonal information on particular optimization flags you can reference this MSDN article on code optimization as well as this MSDN article on processor optimization. Occasionally I will also do SVG builds. Additional information on SVG can be found here.
