Perhaps I misunderstood the poster - unused, uncompiled code cannot be
loaded into RAM, unless you editing it. Unused compiled code can, but
that is beyond the realm of the user. If the developer has functions
that are not ever being used, then that's the developer's fault.

That's not correct. It offers the potential of being
executed and thus, it offers the potential of being
a security threat. Thus it is better to NOT have the
code around at all.
