Oddly, on most Android devices you actually have plenty of RAM to work with,
especially in native code where the Java maximum heap size do not apply.
Memory's not a bottleneck.
I wasn't saying that libraries <100k are bloated. So far, I had the impression
that we were in the order hundreds of kilobytes, which is too much for plugin
support in an app, when you think about it as a whole, which means codecs and
other deps.
Replacing glib, it seems, is the main and by far most
significant thing
that needs doing to get a very small embedded appropriate limitation.
The code size of my new libraries, IMO, is well within reasonable limits
for anything that would use LV2 plugins.
All these changes sound very good to me.
