The deduplication requires a DenseMap of the same size of the local part of
.strtab . I optimized it in e205445434 but it is
still quite slow.
For Release build of clang, deduplication makes .strtab 1.1% smaller and makes the link 3% slower.
For chrome, deduplication makes .strtab 0.1% smaller and makes the link 6% slower.
I suggest that we only perform the optimization with -O2 (default is -O1).
Not deduplicating local symbol names will simplify parallel symbol table write.
