Oh.  The profile makes it evident that most of the libraries lack .gnu.hash,
and the lookup is almost always using SysV lookup.  With many dependencies
SysV lookup is slower: in my testing with Clang/LLVM I got something like 420
ms (compared to 240 ms unpatched or 110 ms patched musl with .gnu.hash
lookup).

I'm not familiar with Alpine.  Hopefully someone else can chime in whether
.gnu.hash is deliberately disabled.

(since raw callgrind log is not readable, I'm pasting callgrind_annotate'd
version of your data below)
