I'm not sure that loading a shared library will reduce the startup time.
I don't have any experience with Linux shared librarys but
if the behaviour of shared libs is roughly similar to Windows DLL's then
the startup time is even longer. ALL the library is loaded to memory
and not just the necessary routines.
