IIRC, Busybox shell can get notable speed boost by incorporating versions of tools like sed into the same busybox executable, such that it often doesn't have to fork and load other short-lived programs.
I don't think it loads them into it... it provides them... for example running busybox vi will load busybox's version of vi. Doesn't mean this isn't a good thing... symlinking vi to busybox and then running that vi is the same as typing busybox vi. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
