Just curious... how can you do relocations in advance unelss you know
where it's going to be loaded (which presumably, you don't). Without a
Windows-like scheme where programs are linked to be loaded at a given
location (and hence only need relocation if that location is unavailable),
then I don't see how you can reduce load time relocations.

Care to enlighten me?
