It's a job for the loader on processors where it is difficult (or impossible)
to write relocatable code. Or, in the case of DRI, where a port of an existing
operating system makes it easier.
On the 68000, relocatable code gives you
1) Faster performance
2) Smaller code size
3) Complete flexibility as to its placement in memory
All it costs you is an address register or two at run-time. I figure it all
balances out.
