By playing with compile options you can probably get improvements
you can measure in benchmarks like x11perf, but it's unlikely you
will get noticeable real-world improvements. It's up to you whether
you want to go through the trouble.

Standard process for modifying the XFree86 build is to copy the
xc/config/cf/xf86site.def over to xc/config/cf/host.def and edit the
host.def. To change the compile optimizations you can uncomment and
edit the DefaultGcc2i386Opt line.
Mark.
