[Insight-developers] Insight-developers Digest, Vol 55, Issue 6

[David Fuentes]

I thought default was without any

     -g -O?

compilers flags.
this would default to -O2 on most compilers? what are you comparing "slow" 
to? what kind of performance differences are you seeing w/ and w/o Release 
mode?
