Who cares?  It does not necessarily matter.

IIRC, others have shown (on the m86k) that statically linking some
binaries can actually improve performance (with the likes of comile

You have to look at the big picture, not just how many instances of a
given set of instructions might be on disk, or even in core in any given
instant.
