on that note, previous engine's main file, was ~7.5k after cleanup. according to him, this should not happen!

he talked about it like a "disgusting" thing, and like it "should" not happen. and his PC was very powerful, and was not able to load the file!
Sublime, not even IDE, could load that fine...Google chrome just loaded it in that link above!!!
