There is generally one main reason to turn off optimization in GCC:
when debugging your executable in GDB.  Optimization rearranges
instructions to better fit in a Pentium's pipeline; this throws GDB
off balance.

Which is standard practice when using source debuggers such as GDB.
Eli could probably point you to a FAQ list entry with more info.
