How big is the calculator app on Windows 11 that you need to cache it in RAM? On macOS, the calculator app is 6 MB. And that's containing both x64 and ARM code.

How big is the calculator app on Windows 11 that you need to cache it in RAM? On macOS, the calculator app is 6 MB. And that's containing both x64 and ARM code. How long does it take a modern SSD (6 GB/s?) to read that?
- Joe_Cool 4mo agoIf it's the same as on Win10 it's a UWP App that needs a ton of dependencies like .net, WinUI2/XAML. The appx is: Approximate size 21.8 MB according to https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfhvn5 https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfhvn5 Win7 calc.exe had 758KB for i686 and 897KB for amd64.
- kalleboo 4mo agoReminds me of the early days of MacOS X when the Calculator app was written in Java as a demo of how fantastic and native their Java integration with Cocoa bindings was. This of course made it horribly slow to launch since initializing the JVM back then was a massive chore.
