Stripping a .out file obviously has the advantage of saving disk space.
Is there any corresponding performance improvement?  For example,
it might take less time to load the file and swap it.  Or is exec()
smart enough to omit the symbol table when loading an unstripped file?
This has become an issue with our 68K-based UnixBoxen, where disk space
is tight and access time is slow.
