> 1) 200K Who the heck cares? What, are you running on a Trash-80?
The reason I care so much about reducing file size is because file size can have a lot to do when determining if a program will sink or swim.
Example: My program, when compressed, comes out to about 1.38 MBs. In today's age that file size is OK, but a lot of people still think in terms of life on the internet before broadband. Those terms were, if it's smaller, they'll download it first.
I know that example quite well in that I always download the smallest program first. Nothing makes me squirm more than seeing a program, such as an FTP program, with a download size of 8.1 MBs. With a size that big, I'll download the 433 KB ftp program first.

I have an enhancement request on BugZilla for this.
