Accoring to Microsofts book 'Rapid Development' (dont knock it, excellent
book) says the average human can not keep track of more then 500 lines of
code at once, I beleive it. I break my code up into sections smaller then
500 lines, keeps the code better. load time because files are distributed is
minimal. Everything comes down to cost, the little it would cost to add more
ram/cpu to compinsate for this *minor* overhead would be 100x cheaper then
extra time spent in development due to huge files being confusing...
