Just fgrep for "staticpro". I have some serious doubts.
Once you take the hit of loading the module, you end up chasing a
pointer
and doing the function call. Still a little slower, but I doubt it would
be noticeable, given the other areas that bog down XEmacs. :)
Nice. We've come from "it will be faster because it will use less
memory" to "it won't be _that_ slower".
May I hear technical arguments _for_ modules for a change ?
