A larger part of the library is often linked into the executable. This is all implementation dependant, so it varies greatly. In an environment where space is paramount, implementations (compilers+linkers) that tries to minimize space, partly by only linking the parts really needed into the executable, exists or can exist. In practice, it has not been a problem for me. I know about caching issues etc. but I haven't seen any drop of NPS going from very small binaries to "normal" C++ sized binaries. /David
