One note. changing the name to something besides optimize *may* cause people to actually look before they use it. I mean, I *know* what optimize means, and it is good. Unfortunately what I know about the term isn't what it does, so changing the name to SqueezeTheCharmin will at least have a chance of making me dig deeper before just using it.
