+Disable Dumping the Container as XML in Debug Mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In debug mode, Symfony compiles the :doc:`service container </service_container>`
+into an XML file. This XML file is used by various commands such as
+``debug:container`` and ``debug:autowiring``. When the container grows larger and larger,
+so does the size of the file and the time to generate it. Sometimes the benefit of this
+file does not outweigh the decrease in performance.
+
+In these situations, you can disable dumping of the XML file by setting `debug.container.dump` to `false`:
