I think you're both right. A 125MB binary is relatively beefy, but still easily fits in RAM. The amount of disk that you're spending on a single executable (your database, in this instance) is tiny in comparison to the amount of data stored in that database. It's definitely worth it for Google to trim 2% off of their storage requirements - but if your binary is 0.1% of your storage, it's barely even worth glancing at.
