Hard to know if they have the same effect, and actually total size of object
files is bigger with objectada than with apex.
But I don't think objects file total size or compilers options is the
problem.
No matter which options you use, Apex link is always by far much faster than
Objectada
It wouldn't explain such a difference (link about 10 times faster than
Objectada)

in /VERBOSE mode, almost all the time difference occurs between the 1rst and
2nd line of linker output
"Start Pass1"
and
"Searching Libraries"
and the linker output is about 13000 lines !!
