Issue ID: 15093
Summary: optimize slist_reset
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd

When compiling multilibs a lot of time (sometimes up 8%) is spent in
slist_reset.
We should perform resetting of symbols that are used in another object lazily.
One way to implement this would be to use monotonically increasing the symbol
numbers (Sxtrnum) and checking whether the numer belongs to the curren object
before using a symbol.
Another solution that might already help is to reset the symbols directly after
usage.
