I don't think statically linking will effect performance
too much, with the exception of the time to load up blender,
maybe.

All of the dynamic linking I've been doing has been
to either system libs, or stuff from sgi freeware
(which I am assuming shouldn't be too bad for the
end user to install, relatively speaking).
I would have linked freetype statically, except the
only lib that comes in the freeware package is
a dynamic one.
