Well he said the file was 9.3KB, so that could easily work out to about 50 variables at around 190 characters each. Even 9300 variables is entirely possible if someone used global variables for everything. For example an MP3 player script which stored a playlist in global variables could take up hundreds or thousands of variables in itself, or a bot that calculated detailed channel statistics at runtime could quite easily reach those sorts of figures. Of course both those things would make a lot more sense as hash tables. Personally I have only 2 global variables, and that's only because the code that uses them was written back when I first learned to script and I haven't bothered to update it.
