By default cabal uses ghc -O to build projects, so you won't see any
difference if you comment it out of the cabal file. You will however
if you explicitly turn off optimisations:
ghc-options: -Onot
I'd recommend using -O2 these days, particularly for a library like
docon where performance matters.
ghc-options: -O2
For best results.
