While this sounds good on the surface, I'd have to have a lot of faith
in an optimizer to do this, because the resultant application would have
had NO TESTING. I'd much rather the optimization were done by the
developers, so that the optimized code would be tested (except for
Microsoft, since they don't seem to do any testing :-)).
