It's not all a joke

True, the article is partly an april fool's joke. What would you get by optimizing the idle loop? More cycles of the idle loop running in your idle time! But the 2nd half of the article discusses Altivec instructions. And seriously, there's useful information to be found there if you're writing Altivec code.
