Excuse me? what part was a joke??
I don't think any debug code is turned on in the last 5G64 seed, but if
so, how could I tell?
Lots of people originally blamed (based on misinterpreted comments from
developers) the apparent slowness of OS X PB, DP4, etc on the fact that
there was "debug code" in OS X at the time, and that this would be
"turned off" for a release version. This even lead to widespread belief
that there would be two "versions" of 4K78 when it was released as
10.0 -- one that was seeded to developers and the other that was in the
retail box. This was all a load of rubbish, and people like me were
frequently amused at how people with very little understanding of how
development works could get things so wrong :-)
