How does the gcc -g option affect performance?

Thanks for all your replies!

Lets say we remove all the debug information using
elfutil's strip. Does the above imply that the
stripped version will as good as a binary produced
*without* using -g?

It's great to know that -g doesn't tamper with the
executable portion.
