Code doesn't even get read off the disk these days unless you use it. 
The amount of data in control structures is tiny compared to the amount 
of RAM in a modern computer, and the amount of RAM occupied by actual 
data. Why do you think enough of it is wasted that it's worth spending 
the time and effort reducing the amount used?
