You can of course speed this up by using a binary search: enable  
optimisations for half of the units -> if fail, disable for half of  
those, otherwise enable for half of the other half etc. Similarly,  
within a single unit you can put the {$optimization off} halfway and  
then move it up/down by half every time something fails or doesn't.  
Note that {$optimization off} won't work if you put it in the middle  
of a procedure.
