Perhaps, but I doubt it would be significant. Depends on what you're trying 
to tune. "Performance" can mean many things. I wouldn't rebuild everything 
just in hope that there would be a noticeable speedup. Determine what's 
actually slow and optimize just that, if it's possible. Blind optimization 
is a bad investment.
