    This memo contains the source-to-object expansion ratios for Mesa 3.0 and the previous
    release. It also attempts to estimate some productivity figures. The old numbers are those
    reported in W. Shultz's memo of June 6, 1977 (reflecting status as of April, 1977). The new
    numbers are copied from Mesa 3.0 Statistics, October 17, 1977; most of these (except frame
    sizes) are reproduced below.

* The old binder is included in the April system figure.
Productivity in this case is hard to measure because we have no figures on the amount of
code deleted from the old system, and therefore no figures on the total amount of new code
added. The following calculations are based on the net change only (the utilities have not
been included; they are viewed as overhead):

       time: 4/1 - 10/15 = 28 weeks
       people: 6 - 1 (support) = 5
       person weeks: 140
       source lines: 18241 - 5692 = 12549
       productivity: 89.64 loc/pw = 4660 loc/py

This figure includes all activity except support functions, which I have estimated to occupy
about one sixth of our time. Note that the staff size includes one full time person from
CSL (Ed Satterthwaite somewhat less than full time, with Jim Mitchell making up the
difference).

To get some handle on the total amount of new code written, we can try to estimate the
amount of code that was removed in one component (say, the system), and then apply this
factor to the other projects. An examination on a module basis indicates that about 900
lines were removed from the runtime system.

       Old code size             13089
       Deletes (estimate)        - 895
       Adds (computed)            5417
       New code size
                                 ---
                                 17611

This calculation indicates that we should add about 20% to the net change to get the total
amount of code written:

       source lines: 12549 * 120% = 15059
       productivity: 107.56 loc/pw = 5590 loc/py
