After some searching I believe I found what causes the performance to drop.

I've just committed a patch that sets the default build type to 
RelWithDebInfo (if someone prefers another default, let me know).

As a test, could you rerun with the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo, 
so that the build now looks like the below, and see if it improves 
performance? Thanks!

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DLIB_SUFFIX= -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
