This option specifies the type of optimization required.

ABBREVIATIONS: NOPT, OPT
Optimization requires additional compile time, but usually results in reduced run time.
Inlining occurs only under optimization.
The use of the PREFIX option with one or more of the checkout conditions (SIZE, STRINGRANGE, STRINGSIZE, and SUBSCRIPTRANGE) can significantly increase the time and space needed for a compile.
See Improving performance for a full discussion of optimization.
