I don't have numbers on global readonly, but in typical compilation most of the memory allocated is definitely global. Past a certain point much of that is probably readonly. However, it would take some clever interfaces and discipline to _guarantee_ that any particular global bit was shareable. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
