I don't think you will save a lot on dynamic linking for GUI toolkits for Google Earth. I bet that code segment used is less than 25% and such an app usually allocated x20 more memory for its data structures which are mostly bitmap contents and who knows what else. So, all you can save is 2MB of RAM at most, while application requires much more memory to run. On my linux box I'm seeing that it uses 246MB total, 56MB RSS and 25MB shared.
