The advantage of keeping a program as small as it can be are,
primarily, to keep it well-behaved with regard to the system's
resources--meaning that the interference with other programs and other
tasks is minimized--and, secondarily, to keep the program focused on
its purposes and on efficient code as an ongoing enterprise.  I agree
with you that a program should not be small for small's sake, but I
feel strongly that a program should be as small as it can be while
fulfilling its purposes as well as it can.
