Thanks Cory.  There was no warning with that option specified, but  there
was also no measurable performance change.  I verified that MSVC was being
called with the option, and that if I misspelled the option, a warning was
issued.  I think that SSE is deliberately disabled in the cheap version of
MSVC I bought, based upon the Microsoft documentation.
