Sounds like my code :-).

Buy a bigger, faster machine or break your project down into libraries, each 
of which are tested thoroughly; then make a run-time version and link in.

A simple doubling of executable size in debug mode sounds like nothing to 
worry about. Some of my code is over an order of magnitude slower with debug 
mode and asserts on, but still worth it.
