Yes, thanks, only his answer to the post you linked to is more than enough to demonstrate how wrong it was allowing him to be responsible for anything. How many years did he manage to block the improvements?

To get back to the topic we discuss: the patch sent there (and rejected by UD) speeds up loading everywhere glibc is used! And that's the pure CPU speedup, no matter how fast SSD you have!

Reading the question of Michael Meeks, it was just a proof of concept, maybe the whole mechanism can be improved even more, he comments his own work:

"Is there a better way to achieve what I do in dl-deps.c? the umpteen-string compares are clearly highly evil"

Anybody knows the status of uclibc? How do they do it? If nobody knows, anybody willing to measure how much the same version of OO needs on the same hardware with glibc and uclibc?
