R – NOT use the /optimize switch to compile the C# code

compiler-constructionvisual studio

In Visual Studio 2008 there is an option "Optimize Code" that probably corresponds to the /optimize option. It is never enabled, not even when in "Release" mode.

Why should I not want this option to be enabled at all times?

It is on per default for release builds (perhaps you changed the settings for Release builds?). Turn it off to make debugging easier. For release code, turn it on.
