In relation to execution speed and scheduling? Yes. And who says the process 
is not discriminating the system?

As far as I am concerned every design has it's justification if it fits a 
purpose best. There is no "there can be only one design". Thus it's really 
hard to say: Using xxx is real bullshit.

Well I know quite a few very prominent gotos. 'grep -r "goto" /usr/src/linux' 
And I wouldn't state these are a design lack. 

As far as I understand Israel's problem dlopen() is ok and the choice to go.

I guess we can keep this discussion going forever. Let's better go for a beer! 
Sun is shining!
