Ah, I forgot to tell you how to build. For a build with subpixel
hinting, simply I say
make devel
make
from a clean (unmodified) repository. For a build without subpixel
hinting, modify `devel/ftoption.h' (*not*
`include/freetype/config/ftoption.h!) and comment out
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING. Then do again `make devel; make'.
This creates static builds, making sure that you don't access the
wrong DLL accidentally. FontConfig is not involved at all.

The above development builds are unoptimized, maybe this explains the
difference.

Hehe.

Have you already done profiling with gprof or similar tools?
