Dynamic linking results in smaller binaries (
http://www.postfix.org/INSTALL.html#shared_enable), and memory savings, but
what about dynamic loading of database clients? Does this work the same
way, or is this something different from dynamic linking? It's not
altogether clear to me. What does it mean to dynamically load a client?

http://www.postfix.org/INSTALL.html#dynamicmaps_enable only mentions that
'Dynamic loading is useful when you distribute or install pre-compiled
Postfix packages.' What if I'm not planning to distribute? Are there any
other reasons (like as mentioned, saving on memory) I would want to enable
dynamic loading of database clients when compiling?

thanks,
