| OTOH when you start using and reusing larger libraries, like

On Linux and probably most Unixes, the text and data segments
of the executable are loaded page-by-page into memory on
demand.  So having a lot of unused junk in the executable doesn't
necessarily increase the memory used, either real memory or
swap space.  I think it's basically harmless providing you're
only running one instance of the program on the machine.
