Today I played around replacing the sha1 with xxHash64 and the results so far are bad. Linking times almost doubled and I can't really explain why, the only thing that comes to mind is hash collisions but on type names they should be very few in 64bit hashes. Any reason why you are trying blake2 and not murmurhash3 or xxHash64? About creating a pdb per lib, you can say to msvc to put the pdb

You can make a PDB per lib (consider msvcrtd.pdb which ships with MSVC), but all these per-lib PDBs would have to be merged into a single master PDB at the end, so you still can't avoid that final . In a way, that's similar to the idea behind /DEBUG:FASTLINK (keep the debug info in object files to eliminate the cost of merging types and symbol records) and we know what the problems with
