The only time they'll both have to exist is when the program is
actually running.  If someone only keeps 1 program on board it's
probably not worth having but for someone who has 5 or 6 programs
it might be worthwhile.  Even though the running program would exist
in both forms while it's running, the savings in space might still
be greater than that temporary loss.
