These builds are currently around 8.5% faster than abrok.eu compiles.

Do we know what is different in the compile that leads to a speed jump like this?

And how often are they updated?

What about Linux builds of this? I see only .exe files on the website.

There is no speed jump. The abrok.eu compiles are running around 8% slower since the beginning of May 2016...

I've only used these for the past two weeks but it seems to be the day after a commit to the repo.

Ok, do we know why? Is it their compiler? Are the faster builds made with a different compiler?
