Size of kernels

[Jay Mathew Libove]

Someone mumbled in a question about getting big programs to run in
small memory that their system has 640K and has a maximum user
process size of 300K or so. That implies only 340K to the kernel.

That person claimed SCO Xenix 2.2.1. I use SCO Xenix 2.2.1. My system
has 2 megabytes of memory, and 1400K is available as my maximum user
process size.

So, why is my kernel fully twice the size of his?
