- Or if you pack large parts of your code into the library you can adapt
- dynamically to machines with different amounts of memory. If you use overlays,
- your program will run on machines with little memory but will keep loading
- parts from disk if the user has more RAM. If you use libraries, they'll stay
- in RAM as long as there is enough of it.
