The accidential complexity of such programs is *far bigger* than the 
inherent complexity. E.g. if you compare the typesetting capabilities of a 
modern browser with LaTeX, you see that LaTeX can do a lot more in a lot 
less memory.  Why?  Because the core of TeX was written by one clever guy 
who knows his O() in terms of speed and size - he knows how to chose 
algorithms and datastructures wisely.  He even wrote some books about the 
art of computer programming.
