            Bug ID: 39667
           Summary: Linking for aarch64-windows is very slow
           Product: lld
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: COFF
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

Linking Firefox's xul.dll for aarch64-windows using lld-link takes 10x as long
as link.exe -- over 13 minutes.

I took a profile and essentially all the time is in comparing relocations for
equalsConstant under ICF::segregate.

I don't understand why equalsConstant is even looking at relocations. The
comments above equalsConstant and equalsVariable suggest that they would be
doing complementary work -- relocations vs everything else. But equalsConstant
has all of the checks of equalsVariable, and then some.
