Well, dynamic linking causes more DLLs to be loaded in shared memory space, which is very limited. I am at the point where I need to stop using very useful programs to accommodate that. If something can be done to fix the problems with loading in high shared memory space, we will get some relief, for a while, but eventually we will run into the same problem, again.
Something needs to be done, and soon, or OS/2 will become unusable, again.
Private memory is also limited as programs can't be loaded high. I experimented with SeaMonkey back before we moved it to use more high memory and before Mozilla forced the huge xul dll on us. It only helped for a while before it started running out of memory.
Eventually we'll get screwed as more programs go mostly X64 and expect to have even more memory available then we can ever deliver.
