160 files in my laptop, using 652K, 122 files in a LAMP server, using 492K.

bash's man page is 62K in my laptop (compressed with bzip2), 277K uncompressed.

So, not quite exactly like you say, but the point remains true. The
man pages in my laptop use more than 20 times the space used in
/usr/lib/systemd (and that includes binaries like systemd itself and
systemd-udev).

acero ~ # du -sh /usr/share/man
82M /usr/share/man
acero ~ # du -sh /usr/lib/systemd/
3.6M /usr/lib/systemd/

And /usr/share/doc is 2.5G in my laptop.
