My understanding was references using the GOT have the same 
number of indirections as in the PLT -- that is, a one-time cost 
for the dynamic linker to dereference and replace an entry with 
the absolute address -- and the major difference is PLT is done 
lazily, while GOT is fixed up in its entirety at runtime.

Having said that, now I wonder if I'm misunderstanding the 
question?
