Given that fact the the minimal GUI skeleton is way above 550KB in its

Are you reading other threads on this mailing list ("Minimize
Options")?! I wrote about using compile-options/code/format:false to get
rid of newlines, and also *remove* "strings" from OPTIMIZE if you are
targeting non-IE platforms.
Other than that, I think the challenge is less on the
syntactic/compression level, and more on leaving class code out that is
not actually needed, and we're working on that.
