...which is not really true.
Linux uses shared code, meaning that any executable code from a binary 
will only be loaded once, even if used by more than one process.
They do each have separate data and stack spaces, though.

And for MySQL even this is not completely true - the indexes and lookup 
tables are obviously only loaded once for each database or table ;-)
