Does Size Really Matter?

No, no, I'm talking about pet file size, you pervert!  >.>  Why the fuck should pet file size matter?  I'm serious, that's not sarcasm, I truly have no idea why some people are concerned about the size of .pet files.  I've never even looked at any of my pet file sizes, except if I'm hexing a pet file, so I make sure I keep the size the same of course, but I don't do that very often.  I really can't figure out why people are so concerned about having small file sizes.  I mean, it's not like a pet file takes up that much space, does it?  Unless you have an extremely old computer with hardly any space on it at all.  I mean, no offence to people who don't have a lot of space on their computers, but I just assumed that a case where the size of a pet file, that isn't very big to begin with, would take up enough percentage of your hard drive to be of concern would be rare.  But I suppose I could be wrong.  Maybe I'm just spoiled when it comes to space on my computer.  Or is there another reason for concern about pet file size?  I really don't get it.  I never pay any attention to the file size of my petz.  *shrug*
