Fabio,
A typical case is that I am at a client, using release bits, and need to
figure something out.
Having pdb there + symbol server support means that I don't need to do
anything.
Having to compile a debug build (especially if I need a particular version),
is a pretty long process in comparison.
And it is not like NH is only about delegation. A LOT of stuff happens
internally, after al.
