This may be getting (a little) off topic, but I disagree with the
above.  Only turning on optimizations for a "final release" can have
unexpected consequences.  Optimizations have a way of uncovering bugs
that go undetected in non-optimized code.  At a minimum, testing should
be done with optimizations.  Preferably, all development is done with
optimizations.
