About 10% for hello, world.
Maybe more reductions will come.
Also clarify that we're comparing printf against Printf
(gcc can optimize aggressively, making this a different
sort of comparison).

A simple C "hello, world" program compiled and linked statically using gcc
on Linux is around 750 kB,
including an implementation of <code>printf</code>.
An equivalent Go program using <code>fmt.Printf</code>
is around 1.2 MB, but
that includes more powerful run-time support.
