cairo

gtk2 performance depends much on cairo. I made some tests with different cairo versions and cairo 1.8.8 seems to be the fastest cairo version that works on Irix. A downgrade from nekoware current 1.10.2 works without problem for me. I build a highly optimized version with Mips Pro. If you are interested in this you can download it here: ftp://3b1.de/diegel/neko_cairo-1.8.8.tardist

If you use this cairo version with firefox3 you may delete libcairo.so.3 in /usr/nekoware/lib/firefox-3.0.19. I had to install an older cairo lib in this directory, because firefox3 is not compatible with cairo 1.10.2 in nekoware current.

In this case mipspro is significantly faster than gcc.
