Microsoft [recently announced](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/2x-3x-performance-improvements-for-debug-builds/) some important performance improvements for debug builds. I hope ITK-based applications will benefit from this a lot, as the difference between debug and release builds is an order of magnitude, or even two.
