People compiling Java to mobile phones (J2ME) actually do care on
savings of one kilobyte in the size of the compiled code. This is
because the phone manufacturers, especially on the low-end models
limit the maximum size of the deployable program to e.g. 30kB.


I would believe that the situation is similar in many embedded systems.
