It's an interesting analysis, but I'm a little skeptical that there is any partical scenario where Linux would be runnable and a 1.2 kB program will significantly underperform a 600B program. The program would have to be small indeed for this difference to be material.
- Aransentin 5y agoBetween a 1.2 KiB and 600 Byte program, probably not, no. I wrote that section to confront the general idea that program startup performance is irrelevant and that optimizing it doesn't matter; a language that assumes so will start piling up features until it actually does, like it does for C in the example.
