Hi Folks,
Further to my own question, I did not realize that the executable was not
stripped automatically in a release build; this accounts for a substantial
fraction of the bloat, but the CW executable is still smaller than the Xcode
one even after debug symbols are stripped. Is this "just the way it is" and
nothing to be overly concerned about?
