(1) Have you measured it? What results did you get?
(2) You've still not identified a program which hardcodes xterm's path
(3) The one example you gave -- mutt -- is bogus:
(a) it doesn't call xterm (which you already pointed out), and
(b) it's trivial to use relative paths (or arbitrary executables),
just edit /etc/Muttrc
At the moment I'm having a hard time believing you're trying to solve
a real problem.
