I feel like "bloat" is thrown about so much these days, with little credence to actually defining it in a per situation context. It would be far more credible to me to not use such a handwavey term and instead talk about what the memory differences are, and why one might use much less memory than the other. Often times one person's "bloat" is another's necessary feature to accomplish their goals.
It's like saying Django has a lot of bloat in comparison to some super basic http lib, except it has all the features I'll need to build a non-trivial app.
