Have you profiled this? Is the Linux version using BIND_NOW (which comes with a load of problems, but it often the default for Linux systems and reduces the number of slow-path entries into rtld)? Do they trigger the same number of CoW faults? Is there a path in rtld that’s slower than the equivalent ld-linux.so path? David
