There were only a few times in history when it was good/safe to be hungarian - and this meme has a long tradition in hungarian thinking. Just read the national anthem. (It is written in 1823 but it could be easily extended with events

With UPX the shared page cache for the executable is lost too... So if more then one instance are started the executable have to be loaded multiple times into the memory. Eg. running 10 instance of a 20Mb Go binary you save some cheap disk
