There is another question, which is debug info.I think it's precious to have correct unit/line information in case of application crash in customer computer. That means huge above 33MB applications. I would be glad if debug info could be dumped into separate file AND used by lineinfo and heaptrc in case of exception to show stack trace.Of course as an optional way of distributing application. Btw, under windows antivirus like Kaspersky is scanning new exe files and in case of large file it can take a minute or more (when debug info is included in exe) ! Imagine a user installed your application and first running it, stuck with a problem and calling you that application is not working.
