Even if I deeply love small and beautiful code, the only thing I really
care in everyday's life is computers responsiveness. And I found myself
too often unhappy with nowadays computers responsiveness.
And maybe it's only a matter of code design quality. One may write
really good and efficient code that will consume tens of KBytes when
compiled. So to me the code size is not that much a big deal as far as
the result works pretty well.
