This is, thankfully, no longer the case now that the linker uses string
hashes for symbol resolution. I could not measure a difference in load
times (any delta seemed lost in the noise) even for giant (firefox,
openoffice.org) applications.

If anyone can show otherwise, I would be very interested in seeing the
results. AFAICT, bindnow is entirely a win.

Ah, yes, good catch. Thanks! :)
