Why Size Matters

Programs have grown enormously over the past twenty years. The classic 'hello world' program that used to be 1KB is now 100KB or larger! Such growth has been possible only because RAM and disk storage has increased even faster than code size.

Regardless of burgeoning storage hardware, oversized programs can still cause problems for you and your customers. For example:

  • sluggish loading and performance
    • prolonged install and uninstall times
    • excessive download time for the product or patches
    • increased media/distribution costs
    • increased maintenance expense
  • Some environments, such as MS-DOS, place severe restrictions on program size. These restrictions are a tremendous maintenance problem and usually prohibit the consideration of new features.

    Fortunately, software renovation techniques can substantially reduce the size of most programs. Click here to learn more, or call us at 800.531.6572 to schedule a free initial consultation.
