alexcrichton opened issue #4026:

Currently when a Linker<T> is used to instantate a module within a Store we'll use HostFunc::to_func to convert the linker-defined function into a function that lives within the Store. This operation, however, is somewhat costly where it will clone an Arc for the Store to hold onto. This means that when the Store is dropped that Arc is also dropped. This happens once-per-function-import in a Store which when modules import dozens of functions this ends up being a very hotly-contended Arc when instantiation is happening on multiple threads simultaneously.
