The size of the v8.lib file is not really important, what matters is the size of the resulting executable (either the program statically linked with v8.lib or the generated v8.dll when using a shared library). With Visual C++ 2008 (both Express and Retail) v8.lib ends up at almost 100MB when build on its own. It is 25MB with mscvltcg=off and about 30MB for the debug version. However when the sample shell is build and statically linked to V8 the resulting executable is about 1.3 MB (a bit larger when mscvltcg=off is used).
