There is another possible advantage of a DCSS, even if you are the only user. When you use a module, the whole module is to be read from disk to be stored in your virtual storage. With a DCSS only the program's pages you actually use will be brought in storage.

If the bootstrap module or invocation exec just uses the DCSS if one is available and if there is not much or, as in our case, probably no concurrent use of Fortran, there is no savings to be gained. It sounds as if you may be better off chasing a real problem.
