I wonder. If it were only limited to the ratio of time required to type it, maybe.

But I think during the writing of the program, you type the code, review the code, look at some other code, come back to that code, so you are writing/editing/modifying a particular piece of code multiple times.

I have a superstition that there is an element of polynomial effect on the size of the resulting program on the time to get it working or to parse code written by another person.
