Dear Sirs. Sometimes I watch compiling 'world' or 'kernel' and recognize some '-g' options while compiling, especially when doing so with a FreeBSD 5.X-STABLE branch. Are all pre-releases of FreeBSD due to development and bug tracking 'tagged' with debugger options and do they go away with a 'RELEASE' (or is this simply a stupid rumor that all STABLE versions are still tagged to be debugged)? The reason why I ask is simple. I need my FreeBSD box for scientific researches and would like to squeeze out as much power as possible and therefor debugging options are meant to slow down code. I'm not a development thug, so if this question sound stupid, I would regret bothering you. Hope someone will answer. Thanks, Oliver
