unbloated
Lacking excess bulk
Unbloated describes something free of excess or unnecessary bulk.
Software that is unbloated runs lean, without the resource-hogging features that slow systems down: an unbloated text editor that opens instantly.
The term implies deliberate restraint—keeping only what's essential.
It can apply beyond computing to anything stripped of padding or filler.
