Think of Unicode (8 bit -> 32 bit)! And if your hardware is 64 bit,  
then GNU Emacs could have been configured and compiled for this,  
using pointers that large. Did you compile in debug information? (And  
GTK also consumes lots of disk space, look at my GNU Emacs 21.3.50  
(also GCC 3.3)!)

On my Mac the Emacsen have:

  7,490,192 26 Dez 01:23 emacs-22.3
10,166,896 14 Jan 15:27 emacs-23.0.60
13,836,700 20 Jul  2008 emacs-21.3.50

build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying  
to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
