   ## Problems with `PKGSRC_USE_RELRO`
   
   ### Performance impact
   
   For better protection, full RELRO requires every symbol to be resolved when the
   program starts, rather than lazily at run-time. This will have more impact on
   programs using a lot of symbols, or linked to libraries exposing a lot of
   symbols. Therefore, daemons or programs otherwise running in background are
   affected only when started. Programs loading plug-ins at run-time are affected
   when loading the plug-ins.
   
   The impact is not expected to be noticeable on modern hardware, except in some
   cases for big programs.
