Well, as I wrote in a comment to DERBY-2390, "the so-called optimized
jars (i.e. the non-debug jars, without extra line number information)
are part of both the lib and the bin distributions. The non-optimized
(debug) jars are in the lib-debug distribution only."
In other words, "optimized" basically means smaller footprint (for
example, derby.jar is almost 1 MB larger in lib-debug than lib for
10.2.2.0), because the classes in the "optimized" jars don't include
extra debug information such as line numbers in stack traces. I don't
know if the extra debug information has any negative effects other
than increased file size.
I too felt somewhat uncomfortable with the term "optimized jars" at
first, but I think I'm getting used to it know that I know what it
means ;)

Am reviewing the Getting Started Guide and found a reference to
'optimized jarfiles' in the LIB distribution. Is this wrong or do the
jarfiles in LIB now differ from the BIN distribution?
Thanks for the information. Sometimes I miss discussions on new and
improved features that get implemented and thought perhaps some great
performance improvement was implemented.
