Hi Rene,
Degrading the TStreamerInfo opt level for windows in general
just because of bugs in the .net compiler is not a good idea
to my opinion.
I would suggest that .net users just build their own
root binaries and use lower opt level as long as the bugs are
there. Once the .net compiler is in good shape, one could think
of providing also the binaries for the .net compiler using the
standard opt level.

                                               Cheers,
                                                Nick.
