Stupid(?) shared library question

[kjs]

Please excuse my missing knowledge but I am pondering an idea and don't know whether I am chasing a windmill......

Linux uses shared libraries which are loaded upon usage. Does this mean that for Puppy these *.so are first transfered from CD into the directory structure in RAM-disk and upon use they are loaded into RAM again?
If so, wouldn't it be more (RAM)economic to have a dummy program which loads all shared libraries during boot to make them directly accessible to all programs which need them and NOT transfer them to RAM disk? Then they would only be in RAM once and not twice..... As the original dummy would be still running they wouldn't be "unloaded" if an application is closed.

I hope my explanation was good enough and the idea not too stupid.........

The idea was actually quite fine - how this is implemented needs some Explanation.

Ok, I had admitted that my skills aren't too good and I couldn't find this "idea" in the page you linked to (I've read it before posting....) Maybe it's there and I just "didn't get it" (and still don't)......
