==========================

Not especially news or differently, but as I also have supplemented my 
AppImages and native builds tests on Slowroll, I add them here. My 
conclusion is that the package (RPM) build (due to most dynamically 
linked libs I guess?) still stands as fastest, while the AppImages 
supply with benefit of portability (cross Linux distributions).
