I wonder, though, what happens when 100 page requests invoking the same 1 Mb
executable hit at the same time.  Does that same 1 Mb get loaded into memory
100 times?  When most of it is in a DLL that DLL will be loaded once and
shared, but I don't think that executables get loaded just once.  Could be
wrong though.
