Dynamic linking

[Michel Talon <talon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Those who follow freebsd-current know that there has been an epic thread 
about the slowness of dynamic linking in FreeBSD, in which John Dyson and
Matt Dillon sent some posts. I have been told by an OpenBSD developer that
they have introduced a cache of the position of the dynamic libraries, and
that this modification alone was sufficient to improve considerably
the startup time of KDE. In fact the developer sais that KDE starts up 3 
times faster, but this was perhaps exagerate. Perhaps this a valuable track 
to investigate, since it is apparently a small impact modification of the 
dynamic linker.
