Thyme Release uses C++ exceptions, Multithreaded DLL, Not Whole Program Optimization.

One should check performance gain from

• disabling C++ exceptions
• using Multi-threaded /MT instead of /MD
• enabling Whole Program Optimization

As far as I am aware original game also had exceptions enabled, but it appears that try catch is not used so far in Thyme.

And "Buffer Security Check" /GS too.

Our code is full of "throw" statements (presumably the matching catch statements have yet to be reverse engineered) so we absolutely need C++ exceptions turned on.
