Mind you I'm just trying to come up with theories we can test, I'm not assigning blame. :)
I'm not sure how to do the apples to apples comparison, but it sounds like some sleuthing Is In order.
I dont have a 7.10 setup yet, but if someone can put a tarballed dist build folder for a 7.10 and the same for 7.8 for some lib that blows up,I'm happy to try to dig i n. Or I'll get things setup later this week to do the full comparison locally.
Yes, this does seem like a potential culprit, although
we did do some measurements and I didn't think it was too bad.
Maybe we were wrong!
