I am wondering whether there is a way to generate smaller binary by ver 10.2.1 close to 7.3.1? Would bigger size binary slower ? It depends why it's bigger. As I said, it's probably due to debug info, which doesn't affect performance at all. Using 'ls' to check the size is not helpful, because it doesn't tell you anything about the size of the executable code in the binary. Use 'size' to do that. Even if that shows the code is bigger, that doesn't mean it's going to be slower. The only way to tell if it's slower is to measure if it's slower. tl;dr it depends.
