Well where you have found benefit? 
Each utility spends memory only so much, how many it is necessary to it.
And on demand.
Stack too memory, and strongly limited. 
Also you overlook, that strict audit as BSS it is allocated nulled is
necessary, and it is used in algorithms, and the stack - 
is filled with dust.
All your shifts only will lower speed of performance and less size.
