Will these changes affect linking speed when creating laaarge shared
libs? That's where my bottleneck currently is. This takes up to one
minute for creating a 15MB .so on my PII300 (w/128MB of RAM).
Memory usage goes right up, and CPU usage is only 29%, so I suspect
that much of the time is spent waiting for existing pages to page
out...
Oh well!
