Sorry for being an extreme noob in the matter.

Probably, only Manu fought with Windows dlls for real.
As a user I would say I want short startup times as I 
change/execute the active application *very* often. However I'm 
not sure I hit HDD seek time penalty or the system loader 
activity.

TBH I think Linux is more sleepy which I don't like (but again, 
this may be prefetch problem, I don't know).

And by maintenance overhead for 1st option you mean explicit 
handling in library source code? Isn't it the job for 
compiler/linker?
