[Mono-dev] Size of Microsoft.Scripting.dll

[Sanghyeon Seo]

I thought this statistics may be of interest to you.

Size of Microsoft.Scripting.dll in IronPython 2.0 Alpha 2, 3, 4, 5, as
included in the binary release and compiled by Mono 1.2.5 and Mono SVN
r88800.

=========== ====== ====== ====== =======
Compiler    2.0a2  2.0a3  2.0a4  2.0a5
Binary      836960 857440 906592  959512
Mono 1.2.5  870400 892928 943104 1004032
Mono r88800 869376 891904 942592 1003008
=========== ====== ====== ====== =======

Some observations can be made.

1. In all cases, its size is less than 1 MB.
2. It is getting bigger every release. Alpha 5 is about 15% bigger than Alpha 2.
3. Binaries compiled by Microsoft compiler is about 4% smaller than
those by Mono.
4. Differences between Mono 1.2.5 and SVN (soon to be 1.2.6) are negligible.
