The CLR doesn't have any bytecode interpreter that could get faster with this change. It's a JIT compiler that compiles the bytecode to native code.

Interpreter or not, the JIT compiler will certainly get faster with the c++ optimizations. The libraries that are linked against will get faster. The underlying OS components will get faster. Since .NET assemblies are mostly just glue code between framework code, which is mostly c++, everything should get a speedup out of this.
