     Use the /f option to compile source files without any default
     optimizations. It generates the _FAST preprocessor constant.
     Programs compiled with /f are slower and larger but compile in
     less time than the optimizing compiler requires; this option is
     useful during the development process. The Fast Compile option
     does not support initialized static huge data.
 
     NOTE: With Microsoft C/C++, the /f option supersedes the /qc
           option.
