Schubfach's table is quite large compared to some alternatives with similar performance characteristics. swiftDtoa's code and tables combined are smaller than just Schubfach's table in the linked implementation. Ryu and Dragonbox are larger than swiftDtoa, but also use smaller tables than Schubfach, IIRC.

If I$ is all you care about, then table size may not matter, but for constrained systems, other algorithms in general, and swiftDtoa in particular, may be better choices.
