Isn't there some economies of scale going on here though? In that your 'print "hello world" turned into a 0.99mb .exe, but a 'print "hello world": print :"hello world"' would not result in a 1.98mb .exe....
I'm reminded of the standard fare which appears on the meter as soon as I get into a New York taxi....
