What is your system, and what are the apparent speed issues?

Building with full optimisations is almost always a complete wank (it's not
for very specialised stuff, such as sound and graphics things - things like
the canvas, gdk-pixbuf, etc. do benefit a bit from various optimisations).

Building without -g and --enable-debug=yes will help. Everything else is in
the mind of the optimisation fetishist.

Until you describe the speed issues you're having, we can't help you much
with remedies.
