Does it really make > sense to have them packaged ? I occasionally use them for larger projects - typically noticing a compilation speed imrovement of about 50-100%. I've also been trying to represent a DOM like interface in Caml lately which really benefits from using the .opt compiler. There are a large number of cyclic class types and the typechecking can take a bit of time so I notice substantial improvements with the .opt compilers (more in the range of 5x or so as a guess).
