The unfortunate quadratic performance of IFD looping detection is not something new. I can reproduce it with older libtiff too. We'd probably need the equivalent of std::set<uint64_t> setOfIFDOffsets to have good performance...
But it is not time to fix that at release candidate stage. The priority would be to avoid the regression of the error message when reading the 65535th IFD. I've CC'ed Su Laus who did work in that area during this dev cycle.
