Well, this is benchmarks/timebench2b with 100 decimal digits and oodles 
of repetitions on i386 Linux, GCC 4.1:

static                   29m12s
static, -fno-exceptions  29m21s
shared                   30m12s
shared, -fno-exceptions  31m57s

Dunno if this is so sensitive, but it appears like turning on 
-fno-exceptions makes the shared library slightly slower. Interesting.

   -richy.
