You are making the serious mistake of equating number of characters
in the file with number of keystrokes taken to create it.
The project I'm doing at work is up to about 60Mb of source code.
Does that mean I've typed 60 million keystrokes in the past two
years? That's impossible.
Remember that I can create 8000 characters with three keystrokes
just by indenting my 1000 line program by one tab stop. I frequently
cut a hundred lines of code (perhaps 4000 characters) and change a
few dozen of them in each of several copies.
I can *easily* believe 123 *characters* a minute over short periods of
sustained hacking of code in a familiar subject area.
