Remember that this is not only on-disk, but also loaded into RAM
(though only once for shared libraries like gstep-base).
Are you sure about this? For which platform? OS X?
AFAIK this is not loaded into memory until accessed with even
moderately recent platforms.
I'm not perfectly sure about this (my assumption is/was that this is
true for Linux and OSX).
Hm, can you directly memory map a shared library for execution? Of
course this would be rather cool. Do you have pointers for the
"AFAIK"? ;-)
Maybe one should really do a testrun with a large library and a small
tool to check the differences between debug and no-debug. Maybe I
find the time later this day to do this.
