Subjectre: a.out binaries that are 66% faster than ELF
Date

This is long known.. I thought this was because
elf-shared libraries were somewhat slower, but that cannot account
for 50%...

The mapping for elf is more complicated (isn't it?),
but this, too, should not account for 50%...

I doubt that gcc -S will help... gcc's output
is not significant different when using a.out (unless
you use -fpic also).

Any ideas? I'd like to have an answer to this question..
back in the i486 days, the difference was about 10%,
and nobody cared... but 50% (66% in that case)
is way to much!
