I noticed that all the runit binaries are statically linked. I don't
understand why? Runsv and svlogd, in particular, have many copies in
memory - wouldn't a dynamic link mean fewer pages used?

Just a guess: to minimize run-time dependencies.

There should be only one copy of each program in memory, even if they
are statically linked. But there will be some duplication of some
libc components within those programs.

Yes, but only the runit and runit-init programs should be linked
statically in the default install. This allows to make shared libraries
available not until stage 1. Are you sure that all runit programs are
linked statically on your system?
