I meant in comparison to its commercial competitors, like Autodesk's 3d studio max, which are roughly 2GB (I'm not sure exactly). The binary is much smaller than those programs. As a component of Sage, it would be big, so its probably destined to be an optional spkg at most. But I think its very impressive considering all it does - much more than just rendering.
