title: Will debug symbols affect the performance in Rust?
body: <p>I'm running Rust utilities that compiled with debug symbols.</p>
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>cargo build 
  # without the &quot;--release&quot; flag   
  </code></pre>
  <p>These are really slow compared to the same utilities written in C.</p>
  <p>Is it possible that the debug symbols affected the performance?</p>
