I run some tests against two different Racket binaries, each one being
v5.3.4.

The stripped binary was compiled from a PPA package [1] using `apt-get
source --compile'.

The unstripped binary was compiled from the official source code
distributed at <http://racket-lang.org/>.

To test the startup time, I used a very simple expression (`42'), run it
10 times and calculated the mean.

Here are the results:

STRIPPED
  size: 4408K
  startup time (`$ racket -e 42'): 500ms
UNSTRIPPED
  size: 10254K
  startup time (`$ racket -e 42'): 298ms
