Is there an easy way to tell if the app is optified? I do have the extras-dev and extras-testing enabled in order to test and report issues.

Unfortunately, other than Vim, I don't remember what apps I uninstalled. Vim was the biggest app (20mb) of them all. So I removed it along with a bunch of others. I re-installed Vim (coz I can't live without it ) but didn't see a spike in the '/' usage. so not sure what is going on. perhaps because 'df' didn't report correctly (Bug 5450 ) Checking opt after the Vim installation showed Vim-related files so I think Vim is optified.
