Nautilus is typically compiled with debugging code on, although that's up 
to each packager. Releases of Nautilus are source code releases. On the 
other hand, turning the debugging code off would be unlikely to have a 
noticeable or measurable effect on the speed of Nautilus.

There are many bottlenecks that could be sped up, but I'm not sure if they 
qualify as "known". A good project is to do some profiling and find some 
bottlenecks and Yoann has been doing. The current cvs Nautilus is faster 
than Nautilus 1.0.

Almost certainly not.
