I usually use dub to create and build projects. I built one of the projects with dub and then by hand with dmd[1] passing all the files etc. Turned out that the executable built with dub was 1.4 MB whereas the one built by hand was only 807 kB. Why is that?
dub compiles and links every file in the source folder whether it's used or not. Whereas with dmd or rdmd you only compile and link the files you actually use.
