Don't. Check it first.

On most systems, the debug info is not loaded by the loader, and you
basically spend no extra time (other than perhaps some paging penalty
due to a larger executable) when you have debug info; I can imagine
executables running a bit slower on Windows95 which has a lousy VM
(virtual memory), but on NT, it should be barely noticable.

It's more that theory and practice don't quite agree here than any
misunderstanding.
