Abstract: A system and method for sharing software modules which are part of a computer program, and which have been previously loaded into a private area of main memory of a computer. The addresses of software modules which remain loaded in the private area after an execution of the computer program are kept track of. When a subsequent execution of the computer program requires a software module which has remained loaded in private memory, the address of the software module is obtained, and the computer program branches to that address.
