### Compiling a Release Build
The normal build will be a _debug build_ which includes a number of
safety features as well as debugging features that dramatically slow down
normal operation of the terminal (by as much as 100x). If you are building
a terminal for day to day usage, build a release version:
```shell-session
$ zig build -Drelease-fast
...
```
You can verify you have a release version by checking the filesize of the
built binary (`zig-out/bin/ghostty`). The release version should be less
than 5 MB on all platforms. The debug version is around 70MB.
