    Ouch, what kind of application is this happening with ?

Mozilla.  Presumably some of the Gnome applications might be the same
as they use lots and lots of shared libraries (anyone out there Gnome
inflicted and can check?).

Why do we no longer merge? Is it too expensive?  If so, perhaps we
defer merging in some value is reached?

    IA64: a worthy successor to i860.

Interrupts aside it wasn't a bad little processor :)
