It does. Compiled apps have not been getting "bigger and bigger".
They've generally been getting somewhat smaller in each release,
but they took a step in the other direction in RB2005 because of
some changes necessary for making REALbasic compile in REALbasic.
(As an added bonus, these changes also mean that all methods are
now virtual, including those of built-in and plugin classes. And
yes, apps are somewhat bigger too. Deal with it.)
But getting back to the point... the new compiler's architecture
was designed from the ground up to support both cross-platform and
platform-specific optimizations, and some of those are already in
place. This is quite unlike the original compiler, where such
changes were more or less impossible.
Thanks for the clarification!
