Speed of Deployed AIR Application

Just a question out of curiosity.  The app that I just finished does some
SERIOUS number crunching.  When I was developing the application in Flash
Builder, it would chew on the data set for about 3-4 hours, so during
testing I would run it while I was sleeping.  I exported a release build and
installed it, and when I processed the numbers this time, it finished in
less than an hour.  So one of two things must be true. Either (1) my install
version has more errors in it and I need to do some more testing or (2) the
installed version of an AIR app runs MUCH faster than the one inside of
Flash Builder.  So the question is, are installed AIR applications faster
than the ones that run when using Flash Builder?

Thanks for the response Sean.  When using Flash Builder, you can either debug
the application by clicking on the little bug, or just run it by clicking on
the play head.  I always wondered if when you just play the app, if you are
still running it under some silent debugging version of AIR.  If you are
right, which I am guessing you are, then this really helps with the biggest
chunk of my speed issue problems. I appreciate your input.

Debug builds have a lot more fluff to them. Release builds are leaner as
they don't need to worry about debuggers connecting to them.
