Not sure what you were measuring there. At least on Linux (amd64) most
shared libraries are compiled with -fPIC and most of the space used by
such an library should be reused between different applications using
the library. That is, if you are runing Ink, gdnc and gpbs most of the
memory you listed above should be reused between these three.
