My main concern about  this option : you can't  enlarge a  shared memory
segment, at least  not  easily (the only way   I know is  to implement a
protocol to tell every user of the shared memory segment  to switch to a
new one).

Anybody who   wants to   'mktexlsr'  should first   kill (or   wait  for
termination) every process using the  shared memory segment. That can be
annoying.
