I'd say that reducing the memory footprint (by filtering an/or other
methods) is _especially_ on a mobile platform. Some phones have only 64K
for the code, and graphics. The techniques necessary to get a game (for
example) into this space are quite horrible from the software
engineering pov. e.g. putting all code into one class, since each class
definition adds 100+ bytes.
