[Boost-users] Linking to release libs in debug build

I've noticed my boost libs are slowing my game down incredibly in my debug builds. I'd like to link to release boost libs even in Debug, is that possible and will it cause any problems? Secondly, I'm not sure how to do this. Boost is somehow auto-linking to the correct lib for my build (I've downloaded the libs precompiled for visual studio). Does anyone know how this auto-linking process works and how I can override it to link to release libs instead of debug? Thanks! -John
