This paper concerns relative complexity of an algebraic theory T and its affine part A, primarily for theories TR of modules over a ring R. TR, AR and R itself are all, or none, finitely generated or finitely related. The minimum number of relations is the same for TR and AR. The minimum number of generators is a very crude invariant for these theories, being 1 for AR if it is finite, and 2 for TR if it is finite (and 1 ≠ 0 in R). The minimum arity of generators is barely less crude: 2 for TR} and 2 or 3 for AR (1 ≠ 0). AR is generated by binary operations if and only if R admits no homomorphism onto Z2.
