Debug vs Release for large projects

_BNC

Well, it started as a series of tools for supporting a project, but I've
got a large number of project directories with .SLN files that are used
by a rapidly-growing EXE.

First question: What is the easiest way to switch between debug and
release builds? Each of the support assemblies will have to be compiled
in release form, and presumably all references will have to be re-pointed
at the release directories. Not a simple chore, considering the number of
them.

2nd: I know this is entirely subjective, but how much difference in speed
can be expected by switching to release build. I used to have a pretty
good intuitive feel for this in VC++ 6, but C#/.NET seem very different.
Is there usually a large improvement in runtime efficiency in release
builds?
