+# This profile is meant to mimic the `release` profile as closely as
+# possible, but using settings that are more beneficial for iterative
+# development. That is, the `release` profile is intended for actually
+# building the release, where as `profiling` is meant for building ty/ruff
+# for running benchmarks.
+#
+# The main differences here are to avoid stripping debug information
+# and disabling fat lto. This does result in a mismatch between our release
+# configuration and our benchmarking configuration, which is unfortunate.
+# But compile times with `lto = fat` are completely untenable.
+#
+# This setup does risk that we are measuring something in benchmarks
+# that we aren't shipping, but in order to make those two the same, we'd
+# either need to make compile times way worse for development, or take
+# a hit to binary size and a slight hit to runtime performance in our
+# release builds.
