... the post where someone explained what "Intel Optimized Headers" means (as in: are the headers optimized for Intel CPUs, or are they merely headers that Intel have optimized, like GNU has parallel/algorithm).

It's kind of an important distinction, and the help doesn't give any details whatsoever on what the headers are or do or provide, hehe :)

The "optimized headers" replace certain standard library functions by special Intel libraries: IPP must be installed along with Intel C++. Possibly, mathimf might be used.
