The 1/3 statement was from prior to alot of cosmetic cleanup and used a few

also your figure of 10.49% for diego shows your statistic is totally bogus,
diego does cleanup (and usefull cleanup) but he doesnt write C code nor asm.

as example just try

and look at what that is:
dca: pretty-print some tables
