After recompiling tcsh to use shared libs, I was a bit surprised by
the memory usage as reported by 'top' for the statically and dynamically
linked executables (shortly after starting them both up):
10198 root 3 0 936K 644K sleep 0:00 3.30% 1.66% tcsh.dynamic
10196 root 18 0 552K 428K sleep 0:00 0.90% 0.59% tcsh.static
The dynamically linked version uses much more memory than the statically
linked version (huh?). Or is 'top' just confused by the shared memory
pages?
