I dunno. It's certainly possible that Apple may choose to install
CPU-specific binaries. But this doesn't explain how some Mac owners,
who upgrade their CPU from a G3 to a G4, suddently get OS X to run at
G4-optimized speed when their Mac which should only have G3 binaries.
Maybe Apple installs everything, then OS X autodetects and autoruns
the most optimal binaries.
