   We are using emacs on sun3's and sparcs. When several people are
   using emacs at the same time, the machine slows down to a crawl. I
   think that is because multiple copies of emacs are being loaded

In any case, your problem clearly involves too little memory for the
intended applications.

Making the executable sharable isn't believed possible as there is too
much that changes on a per-instance basis.  I think what would be
needed, is an executable format with facilities for BOTH shared and
private code, which few unix's have.  (I know of none, although
sequent has something quite similar).

I don't believe that anyone else has bothered, but you might try
picking a subset of emacs and compiling it with suns position
independant stuff and making it into a shared library.  This isn't
exactly easy, but I don't think it would really involve understanding
the internals of emacs either.
