I thought it was 0-2K, 3-50K, 50-99K, 100-199K, above 200K
or was it 0-1K, 2-100K, 101-249K, above 250K
It is a rather subjective question. I think what should determine 'size' of
an application is the install, execute and hotsync times.
If it loads quickly, executes with few pauses and hotsyncs painlessly, it
could be considered small or moderate sized. The longer these attributes
takes, the 'larger' the app feels.
I have apps I use on a regular basis that are comparably large (250-300K)
but execute quickly and hotsync easily. I have other apps that are 50k,
display wait symbols frequently and seem to take a long time to sysc. I'd
consider them to be 'large' (maybe a better word is cumbersome)
Still another criteria could be: Small apps are a single segment (less than
32-64K of code plus resources) and use few records. Large apps have to use
multiple segments, contain lots of resources. The real time-killer is an
app with tons of data. It takes time to sort through it and hotsync it.
Maybe you could consider that type to be very large.
I guess it could all boil down to the user experience.
