[*]It depends on how the binaries are built. If the optimization level flag of the compiler is not used then the binaries are slower at execution time.
If it's not too much work you could try to build your own version where in the CMake GUI panel you explicitly set Release as build type.

Very interesting. I will try this in near future if someone can help me to compile Freecad for my machine.
@Werner, please could I ask you in German for your support?
On Wednesday I had a complex plastic injection mold to design and to optimize. In general I prefer to work with top-down design technique based on sketches and faces from sketches. All further references are referenced on this faces and edges. After I finsihed my work in the late afternoon, I received an email from my customer with a change. In my design it concerns the first 20 features. I changed it, and crossed my fingers for recompute. It took about two minutes with some boolean operations,, split / slice, Lattice2 explode compound, followed with booleans and fillets. The result amazed me very much. No error, everything was fine. It remembers me on my positive experiences with Pro-Engineer. Very nice to see how good Freecad is. If you work in a clean and clever way, naming the features, thinking about references and so on, Freecad will work like a charme. For me Freecad play in the same high level as Pro-Engineer 10 years ago. I like that it run on Xubuntu Linux.
Freecad is different, and I figured out a different workflow compared to Pro-Engineer, but I like it. From my feeling I'm faster with Freecad and my new workflow is more easy.
