Just out of curiousity, what optimizations did he suggest and which ones were a good idea?

I wish that attitude was more prevalent in the ricer community.
I've been getting emails from a Gentoo ricer suggesting a whole
bunch of "optimisations" for libsndfile. A small number of these
were valid, but the vast majority were not measurably faster as
measured by the benchmark program shipped with libsndfile.
