Obviously you havent taken any programming classes. The more code you have,
the more resources you take up. And even if you have code to call up
special instruction sets on a processor, youre still taking resources to
enable them.
Look at all the companies still using command line interfaces on UNIX
systems, they're stiill using them because command line is still the least
resource hogging application. Youre not driving a GUI interface....which
uses up a massive ammout of resources to interface the graphical part to the
actual commands...
It's as simple as that
