I ran the VM on their website, and an "ls -l" of /bin/busybox shows that the executable is over 800K in size. Most of the spinix utilities are less than 16K in size. With only 32K of hub RAM available I don't think it makes sense to have one huge executable versus dozens of small executables. busybox could be compiled as an XMMC executable, but that makes no sense to me. We have Giga-bytes of SD memory available, so there's no reason to save space on the SD card. Hub RAM is the bottleneck, and not SD file space.
