Rob1n: Untrue. Optification works as easily for shared libraries.

Same reason executables work, since the PATH doesn't change either.

edit:
It is true that there are quite a few unoptified libraries. It's mostly because they were uploaded to extras way before anybody had even heard about "opt-problem". But it's not that big problem because most of them are very small.

I never have enough space to download. Where can I download the .deb?

You can download the .deb file for any application in the maemo.org repositories via the package search. Search for the package you want, then select the version, and you'll end up on the version details page, where there's a link to the .deb file.
For tuxrace, the .deb file can be found here.

its showing 498.02 MiB of 1.97 GiB free for MyDocs on Conky. I downloaded the .deb, and it still wouldn't install, missing parts...

TheBootroo: how much rootfs space are we talking about? Do you have any concrete measurement? Cause the entire QA Team didn't notice any difference.
