'back'? Debug-enabled kernels have been extremely slow since 3.0, at
least for me. There's never been a time when they've been usable.

F16 kernels do not have debugging enabled. F17 and Rawhide kernels
usually do, except the kernel team is now doing release builds for F17
and Rawhide every now and again, just to help out those of us for whom
debug builds are unusably slow. The kernel package changelog notes when
the Big Debug Switch is flipped in either direction.
