If you not use VServer you can remove Vclient dll,
But it is only 600K.

Also you can try remove VDK_PPC, if you do not use Convert_1_2().
It is 1.1 Mb.

IBM say it is possible reduce ICU.dat file from 8MB to 3.5.
I did not try self. 10MB are used by ICU now.


P.S. I think today will be b16.
    prev week I have spent optimizing some things.
    few tests have start work faster in 1.5-3 times.
    especially VarChar field.
