Debugging production applications
Normally, you want a production program to execute fast during normal execution. Because enabling debug tracking lowers performance a little and disabling code optimisation can lower performance significantly, you usually want to turn off debug tracking and turn on code optimisation.

If you could manage both of these settings on a per-execution basis without having to recompile your program, you could have the best of all possible worlds. Read more
