Possible tips ??

[Clunixchit]

I think these following points might be useful to tweak up our FC!!
The main reason why im writing this is that i want be sure that the following tips won't create secondary effects: (PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS "HIGHLY NEEDED")
linux Experts your attention please !!!

0001. Tuning the launch for firefox v1.0.7 on 32 bit:

sudo gedit /usr/bin/firefox&

I have seen that in the variable section that there is a test for 64 bit version of firefox
Since im using a 32 bit processor, this test is not necessary. So i commented it!!

##
## Variables
##
MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib"
#if [ -x "/usr/lib64/firefox-1.0.7/firefox-bin" ]
#then
# MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib64"
#fi

0002. Tuning the launch for thunderbird v1.5 on 32 bit:

sudo gedit /usr/bin/thunderbird&

Same procedure.
i think it will also work for the 1.0.7 version too (need to comfirm)

MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib"
#if [ -x "/usr/lib64/thunderbird-1.5/thunderbird-bin" ]
#then
# MOZ_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib64"
#fi

0003. Tuning the launch for Openoffice 2.0.0-3.2.1 on 32 bit:
This one is awesome.

sudo gedit /usr/bin/soffice&

There is a test for ppc (for mac) !!
not useful for me on my 32-bit
so i commented it

# the following test is needed on Linux PPC with IBM j2sdk142
#if [ `uname -s` = "Linux" -a "`uname -m`" = "ppc" ] ; then
# JITC_PROCESSOR_TYPE=6
# export JITC_PROCESSOR_TYPE
#fi

Now is it same to do these changes? (knowing the fact that i can launch openoffice in less that 6s)

Your changes are good
Only I don't think they'll have a big effect on the performance since ithey are just 1 or 2 if statements.

If you really want to tweak firefox/thunderbird/OOo then you might want to compile them yourself.
Note that firefox and thunderbird need about 800MB of space while compiling.

I very much doubt you'll gain more than a few milliseconds by commenting those out.

Those scripts are needed for x86_64, but if you want to comment them on your machine fine.
