Hi Kirill,

Yes, I'm comparing RelWithDebInfo times of clang++ and clang-rename,
both the trunk version. I can see the problem with renaming a couple of
identifiers on the LLVM codebase as well, here is a reproducer script:

----

Replace $HOME/git/llvm/workdir/ with your RelWithDebInfo build dir, and
hopefully it'll run out of the box. The first line just compiles the
file, the second renames 11 randomly picked identifiers in that file.
The output on my machine is:

----
running clang++

real    0m5.735s
user    0m5.608s
sys     0m0.124s
running clang-rename

real    0m41.038s
user    0m40.864s
sys     0m0.204s
----

It sounds like we do some kind of parsing for each symbol to be renamed.
However, I don't see where that happens, even after reading the profile
I linked in the other mail of this thread.

Thanks,

Miklos
