Actually, it was a diskless boot, so it was in the system cache. =) I
know this is a rigged demo, but the point is the same, yes, it's slower,
but we also have a huge gain from going to a dynamically linked world.
It would also serve as encouragement to get things like pre-binding and
caching working.
