There's a big difference: 800k of code that somebody else is maintaining is very likely to be way less hassle than 2.4x the code that you have to maintain. As a slightly hyperbolic example, imagine comparing code that uses the filesystem with code that directly writes bytes to the disk - sure, it's probably only 5x more code but nobody would seriously entertain doing it... |

I'm willing to bet that there's going to be a bug somewhere in that 800kb of code that is truly going to fuck up your day.
At least that 2.4x amount of code _could_ have more straight forward bugs.
