Yes, you can. But don't panic because of the 8MB process size. Mostly all
modern Unix platforms are smart enough to share the code segments between the
forked processes. So, the memory consumption isn't really such dramatically.
DSO in this context is actually not really interesting for saving RAM, it's
for having flexibility.
