Since you really only have 4-5 separate proceses running at any time
(imapd, pop3d, notifyd, fud, and say ctl_cyrusdb).  You may have thousands
of imapds, but any modern OS should just use the same memory image of that
binary for all the processes.

In fact, a shared library is worse in this respect, since it requires
that the OS maintain a per-process per-library jump table.
