 I've tried the Bjarne's "hello world" example, too, and was surprised to see 
the
 executable was almost 4MB! 5 lines of code, a couple includes, isn't it a bit

It is too much.
On my compiler (mingw) i got 464 KB executable for the <iostream> version and 
15.2 KB for the <cstdio> and <stdio.h> versions.
