Signed-off-by: dank@kegel.com Raising the size of the hash table is a noticable win when linking at least one large app. There was a patch, http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2004-06/msg00165.html to do this dynamically. No idea why that didn't make it in. So this tiny change to raise the default size is just a stopgap for now. --- binutils-2.15/bfd/hash.c.old 2003-12-01 01:33:01.000000000 -0500 +++ binutils-2.15/bfd/hash.c 2006-03-01 16:26:26.701991000 -0500 @@ -295,7 +295,7 @@ */ /* The default number of entries to use when creating a hash table. */ -#define DEFAULT_SIZE (4051) +#define DEFAULT_SIZE (32749) /* Create a new hash table, given a number of entries. */
