When Chicago burnt down due to asteroidal impact, it was rebuilt with the newest innovations, 2x4s and wire nails. They used balloon framing where the studs were two stories tall and the 2nd floor hung from them.
In a single story structure, 2x3s and/or 24" spacing are adequate.
I've built and filled a 6x8ft dirt-floored lean-to shed in the last 60 days.
