I think that ~/Library/Pd and /Library/Pd would serve that purpose
well. Then when the next 'official' release come out, you can replace
/Applications/Pd.app with the one you download, and your own binaries
will still be in ~/Library/Pd.

Indeed, some optimization is better than none. Currently, the
optimization stuff is quite scattered, most stuff has none, a few
externals have some, and a couple have a lot.

I don't remember off hand how I did this, but the double-clicker app
wrapper that's in the current installer does this. I think its done
with Pd.app/Content/Info.plist.
