Default Optimized Software Builds? - Like Swiftfox?

I recently discovered Swiftfox, which, for those of you who don't know (most of you probably do), is a build of Firefox that has been optimized for certain processors (Linux only). I was wondering if there was anything built the same way for an entire operating system. I run Ubuntu, and I was wondering if there was any way to unlock the potential of my processor by downloading a certain version of it. My CPU supports SSE4.1, and, while I'm not sure what that does, I know it's relatively new, so it probably isn't used to it's full potential in a default install. Then again, I have no idea, which is why I ask.
