Hi Matt,
It should be possible for you to do that - running with default optimization policies, which are on pr. default in a WAVE/WAE appliance.
Check by doing a show run on the WAVE-594 ... you should see a lot of class-maps etc.
You might end up with slightly better optimization results, when you can trigger the policy to your specific needs and enable some non-default features.
Best regards
