I invite you to re-read my statement and what it was in response to.

And you start caring about EXE size real fast if 1) you are paying the bandwidth bill 2) some poor 56Kers have to download it. Also, large and poorly arranged (or compressed) executables require longer to load and more memory at runtime.


Great tips, S1CA! I would add to that using custom allocators, especially if you hit STL heavily. It is easy to end up with hundreds of thousands of allocs (!), which are slow, fragment the heap and cost quite a bit of overhead.
