I've pretty much been digging through /proc/<pid> manually and doing a lot of trial and error testing. So far, it appears that reducing the size of a library's data segment helps, but I'm not 100% clear on the details yet. If anyone out there knows much about this subject, I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

Another good reason is that if you happen to be on a very small embedded
system where the code runs directly from uncompressed ROM (ie. Execute
In Place), constant data remains in the ROM instead of being copied into
RAM at startup.
