Turing complete languages rarely vary much. If you take the string domain to be binary data, and compare most major programming languages, there will probably be a high between the lengths of equivalent programs.
Any language for which description of 30000 zero bits is longer than say, 30000 bits with zero-separated prime-length clusters of one bits (110111011111011111110...) is not general purpose.
