NODEFAULT_SHAREKEYS as a build option is undocumented, untested, and has probably suffered much bitrot over the years.

Note that if you disable the shared key hash, then every object will use its own storage for every hash key. For example if a process creates 1000 objects, each being a hash with the same fixed set of keys (but differing values of course), then that process will store 1000 copies of each key.

I doubt that you can safely and reliably shrink PL_strtab via XS.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
