Hi, David and Wolfgang, 

I have been building my images with strip and the difference is quite 
small.  According to some web item I found when researching what 
sstrip did, the claim was that strip took out most of the space and 
sstrip added only a small amount, sometimes less than one per cent.  
Not stripping at all, which I also tried, increased library sizes by 
perhaps 10 per cent or so.  I didn't really look that closely.  I had 
no problem with either space on the SD/NAND or in RAM.  But then I 
only run command line:) Except for gmu, I don't use the frame buffer 
yet--takes too much space:) 

So I would recommend that strip be used and not sstrip.  The 
difference in space is AFAIK less than one per cent.
