T.E.D says
"Of course you realize that unless you have other applications running
simultaniously on the system using those DLL's, you havent gained
anything. You've just split your executable into several files. All
the bytes are still there."
That completely misses the biggest value of DLL's, which is that they
stay loaded as you load subsequent applications. Suppose you have a
2 meg DLL and 30 successive small executables that are loaded. This
will be MUCH more efficient than loading 30 successive 2 meg executables.
DLL's are useful in improving performance even if there is never a case
of simultaneous use.
