   I agree, but I must admit that these two concepts are probably at
odds. Although not always the case, as an embedded systems
programmer, I've found that in most real-time systems that were in
need of speed tweaks, the resulting code often would turn out to be
reasonably more complex. However, just because the code is more
complex, doesn't necessarily mean it's bigger.
