Uhm... are you SURE this is actually nicer on your SSD? For
all you know, it could be writing the 806KB first and then
optimizing that in-place to reduce it to 18KB... Just because
the final file size is small doesn't mean there aren't any
large intermediate files.

no. there are no intermediary files. just this, and only this:
(bytes)
145 EZ_Compiler_tmpfile.d
15,360 EZ_Compiler_tmpfile.exe
18,384 EZ_Compiler_tmpfile.obj
