A question has come up on the forum which has me scratching my head. Once again, the differences between abstractions and subpatches...
In a nutshell, is Pd reenterant? In using an abstraction, is the code loaded only once and used in all instances? Or, in other words, is it more space efficient to use abstractions?
a.

No, it's more space-efficient to use abstractions, it's just brain-efficient (which is often more important).
But this has nothing to do with the thing that I know as reentrancy, which in pd terms, would be about whether you can send to the hot inlet from a chain of actions that eventually came from the same object, and still keep the documented behaviour; it's about whether you can make recursion of control-flow.
