According to Bernhard Tschirren:

BTW - Code size is so minimal compared with DATA, I personally dont see ANY reason for trying to dynamically load code.

The OS (or DPMI server) does this automatically if needed and not disabled.

GPC executables are only so BIG because there is a HEAP of unused library code appended to the end (BTW: WHY IS THIS??)

See the DJGPP FAQ list, section 8.15.

A procedure is usually not much bigger than 20KB!!

That depends on how long your procedures are. Other than with BP, there is no limit in GPC how long a procedure can become besides your virtual RAM.

In practise, I am often surprised hwo small my procedures get when compiled with optimization (-O, -O2, or -O3).
