Do you realize that several running instances of one static binary share the same VM space and cause *less* system load? Unless you use gzip'ed binaries, of course. Shared libraries are only an advantage (with regards to VM space) when several *different* binaries that are linked to the *same* shared library run simultaneously (typical X11 situation). I suggest that you look up the relevant discussions with John Dyson in the mail archives and adjust the zsh accordingly.
