I think code generation went in the bulky direction when they started

Sometimes vectorization makes things faster, sometimes not, but one
thing it does do, is make the generated binaries bigger.

And MSVC is the compiler that Microsoft use to build Windows itself, isn’t
it?

Unless they’ve turned to GCC now ...
