Well, when the glibc people had this discussion (the switch to ELF), the
performance penalty was found to be on the order of 5%.
I don't know whether modern CPUs' register aliasing hardware changes that
number.
Whether you consider that legitimate, or a fib, is up to you, but I'd say
that the class of machines where this would be right on the line between
real-time performance or not certainly isn't empty.
