Well, YOUR programs would be smaller if made for Usgard, so I don't
really
get your point... by making your own routines instead of use OS built in
routines, the program gets bigger.
I wouldn't say that you're an optimiztion nut, rather someone who wants
to write all code by yourself (ie not use other peoples routines).

...even though it gets bigger in the end. Well, it's your choice. What
is this OS/7 really? Never heard of it. I don't like phatos relocation
because it limits the programming possibilities. If you don't update the
VAT, you can't even use external variables.

You must make strange programs...
