Hm, I'm getting some suspiciously favorable results, is there something=20
wrong with doing:

time for i in `seq 1000`; do kde4-config; done

and then measuring and averaging the walltime delta between linked and=20
non-linked kjs? ldd reports 37 libs for kde4-config, versus eg. 50 for=20
kdialog, so the relative overhead should be more pronounced.

Unless this benchmark is useless, the results are 23.9 ms for non-linked,=20
versus 24.5 ms for linked call, a 1.6 ms overhead. That's on a 2 GHz=20
AthlonXP, and it predictably went to about 4.1 ms when I downclocked it to=
=20
700 MHz.
