Floats to string is of course more complicated that integers but 
500KB is ridiculous. It should rather be something like 10-20 KB.

It's likely it is a combination of that the optimizer/linker is 
unable to remove unused functions. Also that imports usually 
imports more stuff, even if it is just a tiny function from 
another import.

It's like a box of cables, you just want one cable but when you 
pull out one cable you get the entire ball of cables.
