That's bollocks. It results in a larger binary _on disk_. The symbol table 
isn't even loaded into memory and doesn't affect performance.

Debug information is *highly useful* in a production setup, and we try to run 
all our core applications with it so we have a chance to debug issues when they 
occur.

I think the only reason distributions omit debug information is to save disk 
space.
