dlopen() performance on Mac OS X?

Simon Connah <simon.con...@googlemail.com>

Hi folks,

Before I spend awhile trying to implement a modular system using
dlopen(), does anyone know roughly what kind of performance overhead
dlopen() creates on a Mac OS X system (or in fact any BSD based UNIX)?

The kind of use I need to use it for is fairly performance critical
(mainly latency) and I would hate to spend ages getting a system up and
running only to find out that it is too slow to do what I want.

Thank you for any input.
