ac> Yep.  It also makes localisation easier.

Please tell me if I am experiencing a misunderstanding.

My concept of localization requires the use of a string table.  The 
impression I got was that sharable resources are slower to load and 
execute than their counterpart (strings written into source code).

How is something easier if it's slower?
