Hey Craig,

Its primary function is to remove the tiny bits of information that allow you to see the code in trace window (however, you can still "watch" variables!). But, to prove I'm not making this up, look in help, in the Programmer's Guide, Chapter 25, the section on "Protecting and Documenting your Source Code". In there they mention clearing the Debug Info checkbox in order to protect the source code.

Then, try it on a project that has a significant amount of source code in your VCXs or SCXs. You'll see a size difference when it is on vs when off.
