While this will generally give the best performance results and is useful for long render tasks, it is generally not utilized when comparing benchmark performance metrics. Official benchmark results are optimized builds with all run-time features enabled and optionally without compile-time debug symbols. For proper results, run 'make clean' and recompile with the following configure options added: --enable-runtime-debug Read the benchmark.tr document for more details on the BRL-CAD Benchmark.
