Dunno who is wsdiff maintainer but I think in terms of performance the
ultimate solution (although a bit of a overkill) would be to avoid the
fork()+exec(elfdump) completely. This would require python bindings for
libelf.so (libelfdump.so ?).
Well, it the many fork+exec's could be replaced with one you
might feel it.
Such elfdump run would need to be parallelized somehow as well. Maybe
fork one elfdump process for each of the worker threads and let it
process requests in sort of a "daemon" mode. Hard to tell if this
approach would be worth it.
