I don't think I ever had a usable Krita in debug mode... Maybe it's worth it to make one big commit changing all our asserts into checks, if the assert statements really take a lot of performance. Apparently, distributations also regularly enable asserts when building, they seem to deliver something very close to our KritaDevs build type: debug symbols, asserts and optimizations.
