--- Comment #2 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> ---
Hi Ralf,

  Please could you upload a copy of the bin/assistant.exe file so that I can
take a look ?  (I assume that this file demonstrates the slowness of objdump as
well it leaking memory).

  Is this a regression in performance compared to earlier binutils releases ? 
(I am guessing yes).  Plus is the 2.39 release any better than the 2.38 release
?

  The memory leaks point a finger at the DWARF attribute parsing code, but I
suspect that more investigation will be needed to really narrow down the
problem.

Cheers
  Nick
