At the very simplest level, compiler optimization, such as the "-O" parameter for gcc. Also, use of executable compression, like "upx". Compressed or optimized filesystems -- certain read-only filesystems can be packed in a way that maps multiple segments of code that just happen to match over to the same physical location... Leaving out redundant code segments. Image optimizations (i.e. reduced colorspace, pngcrush, etc). There are literally hundreds of little tricks that can be used to make things (*MUCH*) smaller.
