ROFL!!!! In a language where you use MFC?

Speed I'll accept, if it can process float faster than double then great
but saving space? I mean this

#include 
 int main()
 {
  double a, b;
  a=15/2;
  b=15.0/2;
  cout << a << " " << b << "\n";
  return 0;
 }

compiles to a 193K executable, written in assembler that would probably be
less than 40 bytes. How worried about space can a C++ programmer be?
