[Bug ld/800] New: Slow linking on network disks (no output buffering?) |

Linking is slow for large programs if the output file is stored on a network
disk (e.g. ClearCase). For a program of some tens of MB, linking takes several
minutes. The CPU utilization is also very low during long periods of time. If
the output is placed e.g. on /tmp, linking is several times faster.
It is a bit hard to supply a good test case, however any large C++ program
should give some insight.
I have also run 'strace' on 'ld' and noticed a large number of _llseek() and
write() calls for the output file. This dominates the number of system calls
after a while, since the input files seem to be cached. Many writes also
transfer a small amount of data.
