Doesn't sound very likely. The list is only scanned on OpenLibrary()
call, then a program remembers the found address in a variable.
I hardly can imagine a software that permanently opens a library
(and hopefully closes it again) in a tight loop. Would be strange
practice. And I can't imagine circustances where this could become
necessary.

Perhaps talk was about rearranging the resident program list?
But also those CLI programs are not often called by other programs.
