It's just Fire 2.2 xTreme recompiled with different compiler settings. They are functionally identical, so it's a waste of time to test it by playing games. The only thing there is to measure is the difference in nodes/seconds between the compile of Normal Schmidt and this one.
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.

I agree with that. But I add that a compiled speed increase, if it helps any at all- won't be more than a few elo.

Firenzina_2.2.2pop64 - Deep Rybka 4.1 SSE42 x64
Note SSE42 on the right-hand side. Against it, you're testing the no-frills Firenzina compile made for those whose computers do not support SSE42.
