The stripped binary of that program is 31000 bytes, the stripped binary
of the program you have suggested is 14700 bytes.  The extra 16K bytes
does provide extra functionality.  The curses version will make an effort
to clear the screen even if the terminal does not support this in the
hardware.  If you don't need this functionality and you very much need
the extra 16K then the choice is clear.
