Does anyone know if there are currently any approved Mac optimized clients avaiable at this time?

I've played around with compiler options for OS X, but haven't had much success. I'm using SSE2 for i686 and SSE3 for x86_64. Any other flags don't seem to do much. But I think if someone had the Intel compiler for OS X they might be able to get better performance improvements, I know that's what Speedimic is using for the linux optimized apps.
