Debug Mode

Why is it that the board runs a lot faster under Debug Mode?

[Floris]

Can you list some benchmark results please? Running localhost both with and without debug doesn't show me any difference.

And what specificly is faster?

$config['Misc']['debug'] = false;

The fact is, the board runs a lot faster with DEVDEBUG turned on, though I don't have the faintest idea why.
Is it safe to leave this setting on?

localhost, yes, live, no.

Ok, thanks both.

Did you test that multiple times? what about under more load?

Is this a dedicated server that you are tsting on? or your own machine?

There are hunders of possible variations.

Still on 3.0.7. I'm currently testing the Beta on my own machine.
And yes, I tested it multiple times and much to my surprise, I found that the results were consistently the same.
To sum up, vB runs faster with Debug Mode set to 'true' (at least locally).
