Hamish,
    In general any c++ code with large shared libraries. In particular
kde and qt which can have programs with tens of thousands of relocations.
Also please download and read Ulrich Drepper's article on how to
write shared libraries...

http://people.redhat.com/drepper/dsohowto.pdf

That article has a discussion of relocations and uses OpenOffice
as an example where 20,000 relocations occur at startup.
