Building with VMS debugging definitely impacts speed, since it turns 
optimizations off. Building with the DEBUGGING flag to enable -D also slows 
things down, since it wedges more stuff in the code path. The perl debugger 
only slows things down if you use it.

This all would've made a lot more sense if I was clearer when I started... :(
