Yes indeed. Something that programmers don't even consider these days.
It is still possible to create tight efficient code (I have seen
graphical demos that are positively amazing and still only 64k!). But
as I said, sadly no one does. So the bloat is upon us.

P.S. Here is a link to a demo that someone put up on youtube. The
original demo is 180k but still very amazing what can be done in real
time now. And shows you how much our software does NOT need all this bloat.
