What is the preferred method of compiling mod_perl - static or dynamic?

I have read that *static* linking is likely to load and execute faster,
but may be wasteful of resources if there are multiple proceses each
with its own copy of the common code.

It therefore seems likely that a statically compiled mod_perl would be
faster, provided that a large number of httpd's are not being run at
the same time.

Is this correct?

It seems that at present it is not possible to build mod_perl 2.0
statically. It can only be built dynamically and loaded using
LoadModule in httpd.conf. This seems strange if the preferred method of
building is static.

Thanks

Colin
