That is true. Some code can be really small and do a lot. Same can be said for the opposite. Maybe this comparison will work. Small and gets the job done. Bicycle. Bloated. 18 wheeler truck. If all you want to do is ride a relatively short distance with no load, bicycle will get the job done. It won't do well if you want to move 20 tons somewhere tho. The 18 wheeler truck is good if you need to pull 20 tons somewhere but is a bit bloated if you are just going to ride up the street to see a neighbor. It's also a bit harder to park too. ;-) While to me KDE is bloated, I just try to disable what I can and carry on. If my system was limited on resources, then I may use something else. Dale :-) :-)
