No. Enabling the optimizers in SAS/C just makes the build process take
about 1000 times longer than it would do normally - and SAS/C's
optimizers are frankly shitty (any performance increase really is
marginal, not worth it at all)
On the other hand, PPC architecture is based on the idea that the compiler
should do all the optimization (where there would be many ways to solve
a problem, the compiler has to choose the fastest in context - RISC in a
nutshell - whereas on 68k the best way is to use the instruction that does
the job right from the manual). Also, GCC's optimizer is very good, and
doesn't add significant amounts of time to the build - in fact, Zapek did
tests and found that a PPC compile of V with full optimizations completed
faster than SAS/C without optimizations turned on. Since it doesn't take
any extra time to do (at least not the stupid amounts SAS/C requires)
then there is no reason why they would NOT be enabled.

When it's ready. Didn't I tell you never to ask this?
Thanks
