As a random data point, I compiled my own copy of bladeenc with
-O3 -march=i686 (on a P2-266) to see if I could get an improvement in
compression speed over the upstream binary, and I did, consistent
across 3 compressions, of around 5% IIRC. I don't have the numbers
handy anymore, unfortunately, though I suppose if someone really
really cares I could redo the experiment.
And yes, the output was identical from both binaries.
