It's certainly your opinion. But I tend think that, any binary
generated from a compiler could use the benefit of compiler
optimization. I find it hard to believe that somehow an "office suite"
category is an exception. But maybe it's just me.
I think Michael was suggesting that our prouct is IO-bound and not that
CPU-bound anyway. While that isnt completely the case for the area you work on
it is a valid assumption for the product as a whole.
Understood. What I was trying to say was that this is not a "either-or"
problem. Since compiler optimization is free (free in the sense that
all we have to do is turn it on) and can be done in parallel with our
effort to improve algorithms, there is no reason why we should focus on
one and ignore the other.
