Static linking requires a recompile of all affected modules, a very large task on very large systems. Failure to track down every last module can result in versioning problems and can hamper production problem resolution.
Static linking requires every object to have their own copy of linked modules, greatly increasing resources needed for storage of the linked modules and increasing the processing time needed for linking.
