Also check up the -shared parameter to 4GL. : Without shared libraries, what portions of an application :process will UNIX share among users? In compiled 4GL the compiled code is shared if multiple users start the same program. With RDS only the runtime is shared, while the code is data to this program and is not shared. As I understand it you will gain nothing from shared libraries if all users run the same program. If they run different programs you will save a few hundred kilobyte (whatever the size of the shared libraries may be on your machine) for each new program they start that is not allready started by someone else.
