Not easy to do in an automated build; besides I doubt it will gain
much as the performance largely depends on the graphics driver and
performance critical parts use hand optimized assembler anyway.
the later argument isnt true for all 3d engines/scenegraphs though.
also it probably largely depends on the application i guess, depending
on how many cpu cycles you spend outside of the rendering (e.g. with
simulations like flightgear e.g.)
