Indeed.

FirmWorks has done many OFW implementations in 256K, even with the 
outstanding compression available with LZMA.

The version of OFW that you are looking at is a fairly "fat" one, 
containing a lot of graphical glop, and an http server, and quite a bit 
of other stuff that could be easily omitted in specific environments.
