Building with WITH_DEBUG (-g) in make.conf

Hi,
Recently a service kept crashing on a production box with a SIGSEGV 11.
So I rebuilt with debug symbols to analyse the core file, by adding
WITH_DEBUG=yes into my make.conf (gcc -g).
It got me thinking, is there any reason why it would be a bad idea to
build all my ports with debug symbols from now on? Are there any
performance hits or security risks with this?
Many Thanks,
Jake
