Note -DMY_PTHREAD_FASTMUTEX=1 specifically that is used for build created with -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release.
The fact that fast muteses are NOT used in recent Percona Server official binaries leads to various performance consequences. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413836 and customer issue (to be linked later) for some more details.
So, .deb binaries are built improperly.
