I thought the main difference between compile types was profile
enabled optimization and debugging while release only enabled
optimization and debug only enabled debugging.  Any other differences
are either recent additions or things of which I'm unaware.

any Adroid related differneces fall into the recent additions
category.  I don't have strong preference on building with
project/personal or permanent/temporary keys.
