I recall that at least some of the site's code is generated, which can sometimes result in code many times longer than equivalent hand-written code. Still, why would they could the lines of codegen and not the original code?

In any case, the figure seems outrageous. If it is that long, I think the site is doomed, and will have to be rewritten from the top.
