Again, with latin modern, the "Hello, World." example shows no
difference between plain-TeX and LaTeX:

\ifx\documentclass\undefined
  \def\pre{
    \nopagenumbers
    \font\tenrm=ec-lmr10
    \tenrm
  }
  \def\post{
    \csname bye\endcsname
  }
\else
  \def\pre{
    \documentclass{minimal}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{lmodern}
    \pagestyle{empty}
    \begin{document}
  }
  \def\post{
    \end{document}
  }
\fi
\pre
Hello, World.
\post

pdftex:   23946 bytes
pdflatex: 23946 bytes
