40MB seems like a weird requirement. If it’s under 1GB, I don’t think most people really care any more about executable size. Memory usage is still relevant, but 1GB is going to be less than 1% of disk usage for almost everyone.

1GB for each app accumulates really quickly. 40MB is really low, but I wouldn’t be happy with 1GB per app personally. Anything below 500-600MB is fine.

I want my disk space for large medias, not for a desktop app
