Re: ILE performance considerations

["Nathan M. Andelin" <nandelin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A quote from Frank Soltis' new book "Fortress Rochester" seemed applicable
to this discussion:

"Bound-by-copy calls let multiple modules be copied together into a single
program.  As we just saw, the program itself is called with a dynamic call,
but then the procedures within any of the modules are called with static
calls.  Because all procedure names are resolved to addresses at compile
time, this type of static call within the program is much faster than a
dynamic call.  The downside of bound-by-copy calls is that multiple copies
of the same module may exist in memory if the module is bound into multiple
programs.  Memory utilization is traded off for better performance."
