What is the difference between a Debug and Release build? Is
there a significant speed difference? Why or why not?

Answer Posted / chandra sekhar dola

- The biggest difference between these is that:
In a debug build the complete symbolic debug
information is emitted to help while debugging applications
and also the code optimization is not taken into account.
While in release build the symbolic debug info is not
emitted and the code execution is optimized. Also, because
the symbol info is not emitted in a release build, the size
of the final executable is lesser than a debug executable.

- Usually they are configured to build
differently. The debug build includes building debug
symbols (the .pdb files that live next to the .dll
assemblies) and doesn't perform code optimization which
speeds up compiling a bit.
