Plausible. I suppose this gets handled by the windows loader similar to how the .data.ro sections get handled by an elf loader with -z relro? I.e. relocations applied then the page protections reapplied? Would it be of any use to introduce an .rdata$N section (equivalent to .data.ro) so that most of the runtime relocations are adjacent, and more of the executable image is sharable? r~

I can't help but think that grouping them together would be a win, provided the relocations are allowed... I know on darwin, we kinda hate those sorts of relocations because they are a performance sap. This type of performance sap is nasty as it is pervasive and invisible and hard to ever get back. Would be nice to ensure any change applied doesn't hurt performance...

Sounds interesting from perspective of startup-speed. I wouldn't assume that it has much effect on memory-saving. But to check this, is subject of different patch, but II will give it a try. > r~ Kai
