Hi

1.
I compile my source code using gcc 2.95.3 and I use "-g" option along with
O2 ( optimization flag ). I then "strip" the executable and give it a run.

2.
And then I compiled same source code _without_ "-g" option and "strip" the
executable (even though not useful) and give it a run.

I found that performance of the code is better when I dont use "-g".

How is this possible ?
Does -g hampers the -O2 level of optimations ?
