I use dynamic, personally, but because it is my choice. Guys, please correct me: the advantage of using shared library should come out when you use the code in it, at the same time (for instance you have more than 1 htdig running, htmerge, org htfuzzy, ... or htsearch). The executables are generally smaller, and the operating system when loading them into memory, loads the shared code it needs as well: so if you run multiple instances of the same program, you actually loads only the 'base' part of it. This should generally slow down the execution (but I guess it is not that bad). On the other hand, if you choose static linking, every program is a standalone executable file. This might be faster, but I can't tell you the difference as far as performances are concerned. Hey, guys, any comments?
