Andy Lutomirski says: Some dynamic loaders may be slightly faster if a GNU hash is available.
This is unlikely to have any measurable effect on the time it takes to resolve vdso symbols (since there are so few of them). In some contexts, it can be a win for a different reason: if every DSO has a GNU hash section, then libc can avoid calculating SysV hashes at all. Both musl and glibc appear to have this optimization.
