I thought so too but if i'm right there isn't so much compiled code on
a sigle platform and i tested the same components on Delphi/Laz wich
have different size addon in FPC and Delphi, some people complain that
a FPC-only app with simple stuff is also larger than a Delphi one,
personally i think Laz/FPC apps have a reasonable size when stripped
and packed but most Delphians don't, another complaint is the
compilation speed, about 10x slower with the same type of app, but
overall i think this is a tolerable price to pay for using OpenSource
software :)
