Interesting how V8 to JSC ~2x LOC but ~2/3 the binary size.

The size difference is so large it makes me wonder if one is being compiled with ICU and the other without.

Comments and formatting can account for that difference in LOC though... not always directly comparable. Haven't looked, but variances with different assembly bits can make a big difference too.
