No you are correct, it is essentially transparent to the user.

And this is why is not the first time that a user miss the fact that
Emacs was compiled with the native compiler or vice versa.  Therefore I
thought was maybe useful to give some visual feedback in the "*About GNU
Emacs*" buffer.

If that string is dedicated to feature with UI effect then the native
compiler does not qualify tho.

Thanks
