Albert, 

The truth may be as you say, but my intuitive sense of the number of 
separate readers, writers, and dependencies leaves me to feel that some 
suitable amount of engineering might produce results more optimal than the 
ones you suggest. I have not done any tests, of course, myself.

A few questions on your response appear below.

This observations strikes me as quite peculiar. Would you elaborate the 
reasons for the dependencies?

Did your tests include the comprehensive elimination of unneeded library 
dependencies? Doing so correctly might be nontrivial as it requires having 
an accurate graph for dependency resolution.
