::: laffing ::: I wondered if that might be the case. Shared libs don't
always help that way. Your actual executable is smaller, but if that
executable ends up sucking in the shared lib immediately on load (along
with the overhead that involves) your individual processes aren't any less
porky than if they were built statically. Sometimes they are way bigger
and/or way slower. (perl with a shared perl library is a good example of
one that is way slower) The only reasonable way to find out is to try it
... and you may have saved me the trouble!
