Question about /fixed:no linker option

I specified the /fixed:no linker option for the purpose of using the Vtune 7.1 beta profiler (great tool!), and I would like to know if there are any negative side effects if I leave this option in the release version of the program. This particular program uses quite a bit of memory (~ 2 GB).

Thanks,

Gabriel

I don't see a downside, other than a tiny bit of extra processing at image activation time. According to the documentation, /fixed:no is the default for DLLs.
