Right. I turned it on for some initial tests to confirm that we had
no assertion failures; then turned it off for the performance
testing. I did leave --enable-debug on during performance testing.
My understanding is that debug info doesn't affect performance, but
I guess it never hurts to try an empirical test to confirm.
