Not using release flags is intentional choice. Speed up is non-existent as dub performance is 100% dominated by disk and network I/O and keeping extra assertions and debug symbols means better bug reports from users if anything goes wrong.

Will reopen if you present convincing argument (i.e. benchmark) in favor of release build.
