In userguide, specify how to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to RELEASE #24

Hi,

I am not sure if this repo is intended for developers only but I thought you might find the feedback useful that for the average user this hint: Important: set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to RELEASE, or face severe speed degradation of some tools will probably not be straightforward.

I spent a good while searching for how to set the cmake_build_type but apart from an inconclusive stackoverflow thread didn't find much information. So if you could clarify this step, that would be grand.

Thanks!

it's it pretty trivial if you run ccmake - it is one of the options visible on the screen. Alternatively one can set it with cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release .

Also, this is is the first link that shows up if you google cmake CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE : http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/variable/CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.html

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. I didn't find your link but I checked the man-page. I did not find the code snippet you posted. Maybe it's just difficult for me but I could imagine that there may be others. Just to be clear, I don't see this as a real issue, more of a feedback.
