The OP's point was not about file size, but about efficiency when running projects. Two very different things. Reaper doesn't have any built-in instruments, its effects are as simple as possible. Other DAWs come as a full suite of instruments/effects. Of course they would be bigger in size! And about efficiency when running projects... IDK, I think most of that depends on the instruments/effects being used, not on the DAW itself. Haven't made 'scientific' experiments to compare, benchmarks, etc. There are other people for that. But what use is DAW efficiency, if one instance of e.g. the new Zebralette maxes out my computer's CPU (with some presets), so that audio starts to glitch?
One thing valuable about Reaper, to me, is that it still works on older Windows versions. I don't think they will ever drop compatibility with those! Whereas for e.g. Cubase, or Reason, etc. - they don't work on Windows 7. Exclamation mark! Why?! (OK, I know why but still...)
