 EMB² can be built in Release or Debug mode. The latter contains additional checks during runtime and is only recommended for development purposes. On Linux, the build mode can be specified using the option `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Release|Debug]`, for example:

 Similarly, automatic initialization of the task scheduler by the MTAPI C++ interface can be disabled with `-DUSE_AUTOMATIC_INITIALIZATION=OFF`. This way, unexpected delays after startup can be avoided, e.g. for timing measurements.
