Finally, in Figure 11-16, the compiler is turned on with the debugging
features disabled. For optimum performance, check the
Disable Debug
Features
box in File ⇒ Default Preferences when the program is
fully debugged and ready to use.
The debugging features enable tools including the
Show Execution Flow
and
Activate Breakpoints. When you check Disable Debug
Features
, this makes improvements in the size (in memory) and speed of
the program. As you can see, the program runs about 12 times faster. These
three figures show how you can get the best speed results by combining
optimization techniques with the compiler.
