I don't want to argue about this but we're really getting into sematics. Pointers are sort of also variables, so even if the most integers are not getting bigger, pointers are. Depending on the code this may or may not be noticable.

Some real world example (a compiled c file with some SSE2 assembly for FFT calculations):

(size in bytes)
11902 test1
11592 test1_64

The latter one is compiled for 64bit mode.
