 the spkg-install somehow and then do no optimization if that's the case.
 Power users who need Pari optimized would be expected to have the
 technical know-how to use the right one, and as you say the binary builder
 could have this as well.

 I suppose it really depends on both how ''much'' slower Pari would be
 (which I have no idea) and how much we depend on Pari for "ordinary"
 functionality which has to be fast (which I believe is much less than it
 used to be, since mpmath does a lot of stuff now).

 It's certainly better than telling people they can't compile Sage at all,
 and your point about the binaries is naturally spot-on.
