You seriously misunderstand the issue.  Whether shared libraries are used
or not, the single image of all read-only pages in cyrus (e.g. functions
that come from libraries, whether dynamic or static) is shared between all
running copies of the program.

In fact, using shared libraries is a *bad* idea on a heavily loaded server,
because it makes each invocation of the daemon take much longer to start.
