<li><p>The most visible end-user change in LLVM 2.4 is that it includes many
optimizations and changes to make -O0 compile times much faster. You should see
improvements on the order of 30% or more faster than LLVM 2.3. There are many
improvements on the order of 30% (or more) faster than LLVM 2.3. There are many

well.</p></li>
