Enormous dll size on Windows

[Adam Skiba]

What is inside of libdigikamcore.dll (400 Megabytes) and in libdigikamgui.dll (300 Megabytes)

Those sizes seems to be enormous and I might not be too much experienced programmer but I cannot imagine what could be hidden there

I believe on windows, including the debugging symbols makes the DLL size grow.

Its quite often that people are complaining about speed - would't it be wise to expose 2 versions of program - one "speed" optimized and one "debug" optimized?

A debug version and including debug symbols aren't quite the same.

And file size has nothing to do with speed.

yes debug symbols still inside these dll, explicitly. I'm sure, i write the scripts for that. All other dlls are cleaned of debug symbols.

Why to preserve these symbols ? To be able to get a debug backtrace to investigate in case of crash..
