> Release builds on Windows tend to be substantially slower to link than Debug builds due to link-time code generation, so this is probably a good change even if the builder was running 64-bit Windows.

I agree with this - look at:

http://build.webkit.org/builders/Windows%20Release%20%28Build%29/builds/14330

and compare to

http://build.webkit.org/builders/Windows%20Debug%20%28Build%29/builds/15539

They are both builds from the same change, and the release build took 17 minutes (almost all linking), while the debug build took 1.5 minutes.

We should definitely be using debug for now.
