Hi Walter,
Yeap, Debug/Release makes a huge difference in performance
given that ITK is using templated code and we rely on a
number of optimizations that only ocurr when compiling for
release.
For instructions on how to use CMake for configuring a
project that uses ITK, VTK and MFC you will find previous
postings on the list. Please use the Google search that
you will find at the top of the users-list page.

It will led you to postings like the following:

Luis

>>>Hi,Luis:
>>> Thank you for your instruction, the problem has been solved. I finally find it out that it's because my project setting problem, a parameter which should be /GR is set as /GX, I don't know the difference but when i change it, the problem is just solved. Maybe it's because i config the enviorment manually, not using CMake, so a lot of abnormal problem occur.
>>> But now I have a strange phenomenon, when i using the pure C++ to do the segment process using fastmarching algorithm, it only cost 9 seconds, but the same process in MFC will cost nearly 35 seconds. I'm surely the data source and all the parameters are the same,and also I have try the levelset algorithm, but the result is the same, costing much longer time. So I'm puzzled by this, and don't know how to improve it. Can you help me? Thanks a lot:)

It's still about the vtk->itk->vtk pipeline, it work quite well in pure C++, but in MFC enviorment, there's always the debug error as last time. And i know it must be something wrong with the vtkdata out of the vtkimporter, or there is no data output at all. But i can't figure out why the same code doesn't turn out the same. Is there anything specical in the MFC environment?
