same executable size if build with dmd directly.

dwt.lib : 6177 KB
dwtx.lib: 8788 KB
JFace based executable size: 14MB+ (with -release -O -inline buildflags)

does whole lib linked into JFace based executable? 

14 MB is too bigger!!

how to decrease the executable size (e.g. to 7MB without UPX) ?
