I won't pretend to understand the intricate details of this! I can do the disk space comparison at some point, and maybe also try to compare memory use, but I suspect the difference to be negligible. It certainly won't be big enough to matter in the kind of embedded environment that I've been working with. > Just to add to this, I'd like to defer this to post-2.0 to avoid any > last-minute build regressions. I agree. -- Tanu
