Xcode: Debug build of Foundation Tool faster than Release Build

Hey folks,

Never had this happen before. My Foundation command-line tool works fine, but the executable that results from the "Debug" build configurations runs about 40% faster than the executable that results from the "Release" build configuration.

How can this be? I have gone over the build settings until I am blind.

I have the Release set to "no optimization" (as is the Debug) because I don't want optimization.

Still, what am I missing that would make the Debug executable FASTER than the Release?

Can anyone think of anything? I have even copied and pasted the code into a brand-new Project and still get the same thing.

Thanks

Johnny
