Re: [Patch] skipping import libraries for performance reasons - direct auto-import of dll's

Another thing that "would be nice" would be to speed up the handling of
import libraries.  It might not be necessary for ld to be as slow as
it is.

What would probably speed that up dramatically is to construct the importlib with more than a single symbol per bfd. But I'm not sure exactly how that should be done: all-in-one-massive-bfd (which might cause problems with very large libs), or somewhere in between all-in-one and one-per (which is much more complicated)? If between, where? 5-per? 30-per? 100?
