some applications would load faster and/or use less
memory because they
aren't linking a giant so file and instead fewer smaller ones that they
actually need
LOL. The libraries you refer to are already in memory. They don't have
to be loaded again. That's what a shared library does. Even if they
weren't in memory, the system would have to be instrumented to measure
the change. It would be imperceptible to the user.
