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.

sorry for being unclear, i'm not saying that an office suite doesn't
benefit from _any_ compiler optimization (that would be nonsense), i'm
saying it doesn't benefit from the "sophisticated" optimizations that
vendor compilers like SunStudio or Intel do that speed up your BLAS
stuff with gigabytes of floating point arrays by X times because office
suites don't contain gigabytes of floating point arrays.
