That 690KB savings is 1/97000th of the RAM on the machine I develop and run most of my Rust software on.
If I ever encounter a single howto or blog post or Stack Overflow answer that tells me how to use Clap to do something 5 minutes more quickly than with an alternative, it’s paid for itself.
Amdahl’s Law says you can’t optimize a system by tweaking a single component and get more than that component’s total usage back. If Clap takes 1% of a program’s resources, optimizing that down to 0 will still use 99% of the original resources.

It’s just not worth it.
