I would suggest doing PGO for the following:
- Compression-type utilities (gz, zip, unzip, 7zip, etc),
especially those libraries used by RPM to generate/process deltas.
and encryption stuff: openssl, openssh, md5sum, sha1sum, ...
and data intensive stuff: rsync, gcc, grep, ...
- Helper routines used by yum to extract dependencies
- X-Windows server and libraries used for 2D and 3D display such as
opengl, compiz, etc.
and ghostscript, poppler, ...
Everyone will easily suggest Firefox and
OpenOffice.org.
What about Java? (I mean: is the execution of the JIT-compiler part
relevant enough to total speed?)
