Unfortunately in practice it does not reduce the code slurped in because =
of the same variable interdependencies. It is also better to reduce the =
memory size of the image so that the minimum memory requirements to run =
the process are smaller. We have been fixing those duplications as we =
find them, but we have not proactively tried to eliminate them.
