You can also compress the stripped executable with UPX. GHC-generated executables seem to compress very well (about 4:1 in my experience), and even a very large executable, like GHC itself, decompresses so quickly that I can hardly tell the difference in startup time. Caveat: this actually increases virtual memory requirements, since the executable image in memory can't be backed by the executable file on disk.
