@Pander, greetings, your 2 first assumptions are correct, smaller in size, smaller in memory usage yes but faster in processing not really. On properly-built systems debug symbols are invoked when somebody need those at the debbugging phase.
Briefly reviewed the code since 8.10, if the debug stuff was there, it has been since the very beginning, and as in windoze, an utility must exist to purge it from the objects. I will take a brief look at that asap. What the xorg guys should do in my humble opinion is to very visibly publish a list of the supported hardware, and propagate it to all distributions. This way, any promitent system buyer would be suitably warned agains buying proprietary pita hardware making us going though all this.
