Smaller programs, as in *less code*? Yes. But I really doubt that an
application with the *exact same code* is faster if it's executable
size shrinks. There are some apps that specialize in shrinking an
executable size, I know that.

I'd really like to see some performance comparisons of two copies of
the same app, one with the original exe size, and the other processed
by an exe shrinker.
