While libjvm.so needs a staggering amount of relocations, most of them are relative. They are not eligible for lazy binding, and they have to be performed at startup even without BIND_NOW. That being said, relocation processing for libjvm.so adds a couple of milliseconds to startup, and it looks like their number is growing with each release. Thanks, Florian
