- Well. I think you can neglect that because the link library chosen is probably
- stable enough. And added features won't be used by the program anyway.
- On the other hand a shared library can render many tools inoperable if it
- introduces a new bug.
-
- So there is some cost involved in using shared libraries and the gains (reduced
- resource consumption, configurability, etc..) have to outweigh the cost.
- IMHO this is not the case for a 3K AsyncIO library.
