for industrial control applications, with hand written machine code, 4k is often more than enough to do a hell of a lot (and fast). Its bloated hi level languages that need disproportionate amounts of code space (and needing fast processors as a result), long gone are the days of the tight coding craft. I had a crazy coder produce 500 bytes of code once (for a machine) that creamed a competitions effort on windoze (c++) of over a megabyte.
