Please forgive my ignorance, but what does one get by running non-debug?
Or maybe a better question is what does it mean to run a debug build?

The current process only allows for what we call a debug build.
This build of Solaris has all of the extra bits compiled in for

Compiling non-debug gets rid of this overhead.
