According to R Joseph Wright:

Beware, you're comparing Apples and Oranges there because everything inside
/bin is statically linked...
static:

dynamic:

Now, if you look at zsh on a 5.0-CURRENT system:
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 5120 Jul 3 14:52 /usr/local/bin/zsh
Hmmm, nicely small :-) :-)
However:
/usr/local/bin/zsh:
libzsh-3.1.9-dev-2.so => /usr/local/lib/zsh/libzsh-3.1.9-dev-2.so (0x28064000)
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x280cd000)
libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x2810e000)
libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x28129000)
and
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 404176 Jul 3 14:52 /usr/local/lib/zsh/libzsh-3.1.9-dev-2.so
And don't forget the modules:
total 552

Something is sure, zsh is getting bigger, both in disk space and memory
footprint with every version. I still think it is worth it although
sometimes I'd like to see it getting smaller.
I won't go back to tcsh.
An older static zsh:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 639396 Sep 27 1999 /sbin/zsh
