It's embarrassing how much time this saved on builds.
This apparently has always been doing a linear scan on the entire symbol
table for _every single param in the symbol table_, including those that
were imported. This is not only unnecessary, but has no effect on the end
result of the system.
This cut build times almost in half, due to the number of symbols in some of
our packages. All for unnecessary work.
Like most things that have quadratic (or polynomial) time complexity, they
don't show up during initial development, and are hard to even profile for,
because their effects are so small. Now that our system has grown
substantially, it had a massive effect.
