Maybe the size includes pdf/docx/ppt notes. Maybe there are a few decades of accumulated copy+paste+modify code chunks. Or maybe it really is just complexity -- but at the end of the day that's what matters.

The instruction pointer is hardly the only state here. Doesn't the __SM__ structure (and the mess that came before) cascade into a bunch of configuration? It seems to me that it really could look like keeping a bunch of drivers around.

Or maybe this is a comment on a forum full of people that like to pretend they are experts in any subject at hand, and the author has no idea how big this source code is. Literally.

This. MBR+LILO booting is dumb simple, these people don't know a shit about what their are talking about.
