Lots of shared libraries - I think symbol loading/resolving is slow,
so that there is some patched ld.so somewhere on the net that hashes
the symbols and therefore speeds up symbol lookup, but I wouldn't know
where to find it. It would not be surprising if the most recent
version of this incorporated such fixes, but I don't know whether it
does.
