Edit Question
Title
Body
I've been taking note of the .exe file size of many applications. I saw that Visual Studio 2005 has an .exe size of 453KB, and VS2008 of 1.04MB because they divide the application into many parts (.exe + many .dll files). I saw also that MS Outlook has a very large .exe file (11.8MB) while MS Word is very small (398KB)! After pondering the things that I had seen, I was left with these questions: Is there an advantage to having a small .exe, even if the final size of the application (all DLLs loaded) is much larger? And if so, at what size is it good to begin breaking up an application into separate modules?
