On: Propmpt-genned Rust shell is 13x the Ghostty size

[skydhash]

More code to load from disk to memory, and while it may be fast, it’s not instantaneous.

[orf → skydhash]

SSDs can read at gigabytes per second, and only the used portions are paged into memory.

Anything else?

[skydhash → orf]

Loading a program in memory is much more complicated than raw disk transfer speed.

[orf → skydhash]

So you’re saying that if you append 1GB of junk data to the end of an executable it would be slower to execute?

No? So it’s not purely a function of disk size.
