Compiler optimization?

[Tomer]

Hi,

What do I benefit from using the compiler optimization option when I program
in C#?
What does it exaclty mean? The help only say that the application is
smaller,faster, ect.. but what does the optimizer do?

It strips out metadata to reduce size and tells the CLR to be aggressive
when doing the JIT. There's not much documentation out there on it.
