Absent evidence to the contrary, the reasonable assumption here is that all of those pages are being used. The rest compiler is not in the habit of generating volumes of code that aren’t being called.


That would be asking to prove a negative, which isn't reasonable.

Also, the question isn't if the code isn't used, it is that it isn't used simultaneously. Almost all software has many features which aren't used simultaneously.
