i would give the same device for *any* type of software since the whole
operating system including the kernel itself these days is built with
shared modules and you hardly gain anything measureable just because one
piece of your system is statically compiled

when it's mostly interesting on very slow embedded devices where it
makes a small difference in startup time when a lower amount of files
needs to be loaded
