What are you talking about?
Module (32-bit) v4.0 - v2.0
---------------------------------------------------------------
VBoxGINA ~704 KB ~650 KB
VBoxGuest ~102 KB ~40 KB
VBoxSF ~228 KB ~195 KB
Note that 3D support added a lot of new stuff and 64-bit as well and 64-bit
binaries are usually much larger than 32-bit binaries.
