Depends on target audience. Some want tight control over 
resulting binary. At one of my jobs full scale performance test 
where run on every added feature and bug-fix block - mostly 
because even minor change to alignment to cache lines could have 
resulted in an observable performance drop. But that is not 
mainstream attitude for sure.
