    Its a database of debugger info, I don't believe they are made when you compile in 'release' mode or whatever it is they call it, just in 'debug' mode. C++ does the something like it as well.

    They are not really to make the debug faster, but to make it possible. These files provide the link between the executable and the source code.
    In VB.NET you debug executables.
