On Windows we're not so lucky.
Just tried again, without any plugins. Create new project, gui application,
immediately build it. Resulting My Application.exe is 3,146,769 bytes.

That's actually a not such a bad idea, even on windows. I'm currently

the x64 version.
RB, and the applications I develop with RB, however, perform without any
problems whatsoever.
If only Rb wouldn't create such rediculously large binaries (smallest is
3MB), but I guess that's the flip-side of having no runtime-dll-hell to
worry about.
3MB? I have many useful Macintosh RB based utilities (with multiple
windows and many controls, lists, etc) under 3MB, one at only 916KB. I do
use a lot of small methods to avoid redundant code and no plug ins. My
largest is 2.6MB.
Never thought I'd claim to having the smallest.... :-)
