Others benefits: 1)...speedup compilation (allocated less memory and write less bytes on disk). 2)...decreases Installation size; 3)...do not confuse new users with LCL code, during the debugging process.
I think it can be set as an installation or a Project option (as in Delphi for the "Use Debug DCUs" compiler option)! -- Best regards...
