Q: 

Does changing the debug symbol to none improve performance in a VS compiled project?

Does changing the debug symbol to none improve performance in a VS compiled project?

The default is 'pdb-only' for release mode.

Is there going to be any adverse effect if I change it to none?

A: 

yes it does, since the pdb's are not going to be loaded into memory, but for more detail check this link

That is important but is not the same as generating the PDB file.

A: 

No, generating a PDB will have no effect whatsoever on the performance of the executable.
