Of course, most of those shared libraries would only be used for
running NetSurf (at least in the short term for the average NetSurf
user) so you'd have to load the same amount of stuff into RAM.

You mean like UnixLib, zlib, libpng, libjpeg, and a load of other
extremely common libraries? I wonder how many statically-linked copies
of libjpeg or libpng there are on the average system!
