Description
In debug mode layout and drawing take too much time for the library to be integrated into a real application. We need to make the layout system more performant, or somehow compile the layout code separately with optimizations ON and link against that.
If we compile it into a separate lib we will probably need to make functions #c_call because the compiler does not have a well defined calling convention yet, so X64 and LLVM backends can't call each other.

Research direction
Start by locating the layout and drawing system in the repository and measuring their time in debug mode. Compare optimizing the layout code with compiling it as a separate library, including the stated #c_call and X64/LLVM calling-convention constraints. Done should mean acceptable integrated-application performance with a verified build and calling convention.
