I would think the debugging could would be turned on by a make option and easily turned off by withholding that debug flag. That is how I would do it. Perhaps they did not have that luxury with how they are doing this. I think I am able to compile a debugging flag into FreeBSD. It is an option in the kernel config file. You can also turn on logging in the firewall, which is a way of debugging as well. I am glad they are optimizing. I have been surprised with how little processor time the new XFree86 4.0 needs. If Aqua can match that level of efficiency it will do well in the Mac market. > > But I suppose a sluggish OS will encourage mac users to purchase a faster > > more expensive Mac computer.
