Yes, it is. First of all, much of the std. lib is templates. Here you don't have much of a choice. Second, IMHO dynamic linking is generally more trouble than it's worth. Static linking may be inefficient in that you keep 1 copy of each lib per process in memory, but it "just works". No conflicts, dependencies, etc. To me this is a worthwhile tradeoff.
