I mean, there's a difference between the size of a codebase and its efficiency. I could write a ten line program and peg a CPU, and write a ten thousand line program that doesn't cause and trouble at all.

Sure, I get that. But is the code behind something like reddit.com really that poorly written? Like a buggy, half-completed homework assignment that I turned in as a freshman CS student? If so, that seems to be an entirely different problem from the one discussed here.
