 		 #114926 - kitchen sinks are expensive
Responding to: ???'s previous message
and guess what, printf
the C string library functions are so all emcompassing (everything but the kitchen sink) that they must, by definition, be core hogs. I have seen many postings on "reduced" string libraries just to addrss this.

Judging anything on the basis of printf is judging something based on something you do not know. If the compiler developer happens to be a "C is C, who cares" type I can easily see printf et al occupying enormous globs of memory. If, however, the library is written by a TRUE embedded person, it will be much smaller.

Oddly enough, when seeing comparisons of compilers I have yset to se comparisons of library functions speed and size.
