Exactly.  There wasn't room for bloat.

I'm constantly frustrated that although CPUs have sped up by
a factor of 3000 since when I learned to program in high school,
apps aren't running any faster.

The Amiga code was written to run on hardware that ran at
only 1% of the speed of current off-the-shelf hardware.
