>Could anyone explain to me what precisely occurs when you uncheck the "Debug Info" checkbox on the Project information dialog box? I have seen that an inmediate consequence is that when I compile the project the resulting .EXE file gets reduced in about 50% of its size. That's cool, but I would like to know what's the payload!

You would not be able to debug, if error occurs. There was a nice tip by Walter M about keeping line numbers and still have reduction in size. Basically, the idea is:

You save your project with all files in some place. You then replace methods with "*" for !empty(methods) in all classes and forms in your project (Remember, back up first!). You still have to check this Debug Info and then build your project (don't use Recompile all option!). As a result you would have a smaller exe, but you still will be able to have line numbers for errors.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
