This certainly looks like a debug build to me. Notice all the  
instances of "Debug" in both of your command lines. The "/Od" switch  
being passed to the compiler disables all optimizations.

WebKit.sln has a Release configuration. You need to make sure you're  
building that. "build-webkit --release" should do it.
