The upstream builds disable a few key features that we enable, and they
do a static build instead of linking everything dynamically. Comparing
Fedora builds to upstream builds is not fair at all. Besides, I've run
the two. It's not really that much faster. The overhead in the Fedora
packages is primarily because we install a bunch of langpacks.
Well, i tried this 2.0 version and found 2.0 does not
use all cpu power when several animated images are in a webpage as
in the 1.5 case (see reports from a couple of weeks ago).
I'll created bugzilla 211904.
