 # Cider: Calyx Interpreter and Debugger
 
-
 ## Usage
 For instructions and examples on using the interpreter functionality, see
 [this page](https://docs.calyxir.org/interpreter.html) on the docs.
 
 For examples of using the interactive debugging mode see [the docs](https://docs.calyxir.org/debug/cider.html).
-
-## Compilation Options
-By default cargo will compile cider with the `change-based-sim` feature enabled
-which is a slightly more optimized version of the core simulation algorithm. You
-can compile Cider with the naive simulation algorithm by disabling the default
-feature:
-```
-cargo build --no-default-features
-```
-
-The release build of Cider is notably faster however since it uses rust's LTO
-the compilation time takes a few minutes.
