[NLPL Task Force (A)] Storage alternatives

[Vinit Ravishankar]

I am sure, I followed du -h and for eg. .miniconda3/envs/nlp/lib/python3.7 is 5 GiB. A quick Google search hints that this is because of Cython optimisation but I have no idea honestly.

The size of the binary is different for different environments, so it seems to depend on the packages installed.
