It slows in the construction phase, so one of these calls:
   M = ParseAssemblyString(AsmString, M);
   verifyModule( *M )
   M->getNamedFunction(name);
   EE->getPointerToFunction

It feels like there is a linear name lookup going on somewhere.

(will be able to do report more thorough timings later)
