If you project require strong security, than it would be simpler to use static linking. If you have many instances of the same program or have many shortlived processes of the same program, than static linking is better(for ram and speed). Michael, just read about history of shared object. That was not technical decision, that was marketing decision. -- Олег Неманов (Oleg Nemanov)
