  QTEMP is only really special (for the most part) above the covers.  Under 
the covers a "real" library object is created w/ a long name (I think it's 
30 bytes).  After the pointer to the library gets resolved, it would behave 
the same as a regular library.

  A user space should perform considerably better.
