Bugs were fixed, mistakes were made, things regressed.
Sorry.
The slowdown is Bug 10840, and there is a short-term workaround:
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10840
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10840#c6
This will be fixed in the forthcoming 4.6.3 release.

Which kind of "debug"? Specifically, is this with or without fast deployment?
Inexplicable background: the 4.6.2 contains a fix for #9433 which fixes
debugging for non-fast deployment by adding .mdb files to the .apk. This could
explain the increase in your .apk size.
However, the fix for #9433 is also responsible for linker breakage [0], so
we'll be reverting the #9433 fix for 4.6.3 so that Release linking with
Mono.Android.Support.* assemblies will actually work.
Pro: your .apk size will decrease. (Note: not actually a good thing.)
Con: You (still!) won't be able to debug non-fast deployment apps.

This is the first I remember hearing of this issue. :-(
Please file a bug at bugzilla.xamarin.com.
