yes

here are results:

OFFICIAL (optimized for pentium 2)
  Peak memory used:          1148079 bytes
  Time For Parse:    0 hours  0 minutes   2.0 seconds (2 seconds)
  Time For Trace:    0 hours  4 minutes  53.0 seconds (293 seconds)
      Total Time:    0 hours  4 minutes  55.0 seconds (295 seconds)

BORLAND (optimized for 386 and for size)
  Peak memory used:          1152871 bytes
  Time For Parse:    0 hours  0 minutes   1.0 seconds (1 seconds)
  Time For Trace:    0 hours  5 minutes  51.0 seconds (351 seconds)
      Total Time:    0 hours  5 minutes  52.0 seconds (352 seconds)

BORLAND (optimized for Pentium Pro and for speed)
  Peak memory used:          1152871 bytes
  Time For Parse:    0 hours  0 minutes   1.0 seconds (1 seconds)
  Time For Trace:    0 hours  5 minutes  51.0 seconds (351 seconds)
      Total Time:    0 hours  5 minutes  52.0 seconds (352 seconds)

there is no higher optimization level than for pentium pro in help file
as you see results for different optimizatimizing options are the same and they
are ~20% worse than official version

I stay with it. I like museums :-)
