It lets you use O(N) RAM instead of O(N*M), for the running programs,
and also O(N) disk instead of O(N*D) for the D programs on disk.
In either case, you don't actually need M or D copies of the entire 
GNOME libraries, just the parts of the library collection each 
program is using, but it's large enough to matter even today.
