What would probably speed that up dramatically is to construct the 
importlib with more than a single symbol per bfd.  But I'm not sure 
exactly how that should be done: all-in-one-massive-bfd (which might 
cause problems with very large libs), or somewhere in between all-in-one 
and one-per (which is much more complicated)?  If between, where? 
5-per?  30-per? 100?
