I'm sure that linker is doing it by writing compressed exe's. This means that it 
has the same memory footprint, and it loads slower because it must be 
decompressed. Also, if you store it in a zip file, the zip file won't be any 
smaller because recompressing compressed data doesn't make it smaller.
