Forgive me for being so dense as to not instantly grasp what it is that
you say.  Perhaps you could enlighten me with a segment of code that
will show a measurable performance difference between a statically
linked and dynamically linked program?  I understand about the extra
startup time, but not about this generic performance problem to which
you elude.

Much thanks,
