[Shotwell] shotwell with 100k pics: somewhere between quite fast and too slow

[Andreas Brauchli]

hi oliver

what you want is probably not a debug version but a 
profilable version. btw, it looks like the debug flag (-g) is passed by
default - at least if the packager didn't turn it off.

for profiling you can use gprof to do the job by passing -X -pg to valac
(VALAFLAGS in Makefile)

however if you're not comfortable with c programming i would not advise
you to do so.. not that you could break much but it could be
frustrating ;) at least you'd need to read up on how to use gprof

cheers and best of luck
