Whereas a call to a function for which the compiler can assume that it is in the same shared library is just a direct "call" instructions. Similarly for variables: A reference to a global variable fetches a pointer in the so-called GOT (global offset table); this pointer -pointer to the variable's memory. So the code to access it is two memory +to the variable's memory. So the code to access it is two memory load instructions. Whereas for a variable which is known to reside in the same shared library, it is just a direct memory access: one memory load instruction.
