What's inside the .app?
By "4.29 MB = executable, remainder is app package" I meant that the executable file, inside the app bundle, is 4.29 MB in actual size. The remainder of the app bundle takes approx 200KB which is not unreasonable.
Sizes in K bytes: # du -k test.app 4396 test.app/Contents/MacOS 152 test.app/Contents/Resources 4560 test.app/Contents 4560 test.app

A lot of apps look really huge in OS X (Calculator was about 8k in Classic,
and is 1MB in OS X), in large part because he migration away from the
resource fork requires the .app folder to be filled with lots of tiny files,
and with file allocation being what it is a file with 300 bytes will occupy
at least 4k on a modest drive, more on larger drives.
I understand, and I always expect OS X apps to be larger, but there are only a dozen files in this app bundle - which doesn't explain the 2 MB+ difference.
