I've tried the Bjarne's "hello world" example, too, and was surprised to see
the
executable was almost 4MB! 5 lines of code, a couple includes, isn't it a bit
too much?

It is too much.
On my compiler (mingw) i got 464 KB executable for the <iostream> version and
15.2 KB for the <cstdio> and <stdio.h> versions.
are you SURE you used the -o2 option?
if so, then the folks working on g++ have forgotten how to build a library
-chetan.
__, no, i didnt :-|
where do i give -o2 option isn't -o option for giving the output file name
