optimizing makes programs harder to support while
providing *no* noticeable performance gain.
I've run CPU bound benchmarks with small programs before and after optimization, and didn't see much improvement in execution speed.
On the other hand, optimized programs are smaller in size. I assume that means they use less memory. So if the program is active in a lot of jobs, reduced memory footprint could lead to a "general" performance improvement.
This could come into play with CGI programs which use *caller or *named activation, where it becomes likely over time that an instance of the program will become active, and remain active in all CGI server jobs.
