... except for a couple of megs of extra memory consumption per XEmacs
process after the first (as the pdumped stuff, last I checked, got
modified after being loaded, which is not --- cannot be --- the case for
the dumped stuff).
It's true that a couple of pettifogging megabytes is pretty unimportant
given the memory consumption of XEmacs these days, but still...
True - on Win32 none of the pdumped stuff is shared between processes. I
can see that this might be a more serious issue on multiuser UNIX boxes.
