Static linking should be avoided unless you need to. For example, if you are
on a Cray you probably have to do static linking. Honestly, all the advantages
given in the blog are not real advantages in practice (good luck compiling
your application on you desktop and then running it on a cluster).
In particular, you will find that linking your application against the deal.II
(statically linked) library takes forever: several minutes. That's acceptable
if you want to do it only once, when your application is fully developed. ut
if you are still changing things, you will come to realize that that's going
to strain your patience.
