This isn't quite true.  You can get by with only local optimization for MOST
of the development cycle, but when you change over to the globally optimized
version, you WILL find more bugs.  You had better figure on spending some
time doing debugging on that version.

And, of course, if the compiler/global-optimizer is new, you will likely find
some bugs in *it* when you start using it, too.
