If you still want a cut out space, I recommend running `strip -x' on your main executable and .rbo files. Finally, if you only want to target 64-bit environments (even if there are still people using 32-bit only macs), you can trim out the 32-bit parts of each binary file, using `lipo -remove', which should cut in half the overall size too. In the upcoming 0.7 release static compilation will be permitted, you will be able to generate a standalone binary that contains both the MacRuby runtime (some features disabled) and your application code, in about 1.5MB for regular-size apps.
