But .. I see that the biggest offender is libxul. Weighing in at 22 MB uncompressed. Why do we need libxul? Doesn't the Android-native UI replace XUL? Other large things that I noticed: 8 MB for Fonts 3.7 MB for Dev Tools 3.1 MB for Shumway I am curious why the Chiras SIL fonts are so large. Five times 1.7 MB each. Why are these so large? A comparable serif font like Georgia is about 400 KB for each different style. Maybe the last two should be downloadable components? Is that possible on Android? S.
