QTL: Debug build faster than release build?

[tuli]

Execution time. Poor wording on my part, sorry.

To suggest an explanation I'd have to see your code with a trustworthy benchmark approach (taking into consideration things such as data cache).

Run the algorithm 2 times and keep track of the time it takes to do each loop through the file. If the data are being cached, the second pass should be faster than the first.

What happens if you run the debug and release versions *outside* of the development environment? (i.e., run them each from the command line).
