Using the compact code generation option (-compact) and lax validation option (-lax) can also improve decoding performance.

The -compact option causes code to be generated that contains no diagnostic or error trace messages. In addition, some status checks and other non-critical code are removed providing a slightly less robust but faster code base.

The –lax option causes all constraint checks to be removed from the generated code.

Performance intensive applications should also be sure to link with the compact version of the base run-time libraries. These libraries can be found in the lib_opt (for optimized) subdirectory. These run-time libraries also have all diagnostics and error trace messages removed as well as some non-critical status checks.
