large binary footprint ?

[HP Wei]

hi Bulat, thanks for the speedy reply!

I tried the following two ways and got the same result:

  (1) in the shell,
      strip hello
  (2) ghc -optl-s -o hello -L../lib hello.hs

  They both result in a binary size of ~2.5MBytes,
  which is about 5 times what I expected (500kbytes).

  Have I had the 'incorrect impression' of 500kbytes ?

Thanks
hp
