get_dwarf_info() call takes several seconds to complete

[hnsl]

For a moderately sized binary with about 25000 DIEs this library takes several seconds to return from a call to get_dwarf_info(), even with pypy, which makes it unsuitable for several purposes. Please optimize this. I'm only interested in a a few of the DIEs with certain tags so there must be many, may cycles wasted on indexing and creating objects that are never looked at once.

Can you attach the binary in question to the issue, please?

[hnsl]

Thanks for responding. Unfortunately not since it's proprietary but I'll see if I can whip together a good example.

[eliben]

Producing a synthetic example that demonstrates the problem is good too
