No one has mentioned programs that would not fit on a floppy.
Please do NOT assume that because one Hellow world program
was 10K and the other was 20K, that you have a factor of
2 difference, no, more likely you have a 10K difference,
representing the basic overhead. So perhaps we are
talking about a 1.32 MB program rather than 1.33.
As I said earlier, the comparison figures are pretty useless
you cannot generalize from them in this way.

But you only did it with small programs ... and almost
certainly non-comparable programs at that ...
