What you've just done is pretty useless.  You could just as well use puts()
for that.  printf() is "print FORMATTED".  Give us some REAL examples, that
actually do some formatting, to see whether or not the code size increases
(in other words, whether or not the compiler is smart enough not to include
the formatting routines it doesn't need).  I'm guessing, but I'd expect
code size to increase (I don't have my Amiga yet, so I can't test it
myself).
