With FPC 2.6.0 and the fpGUI Toolkit I get the following:

  820Kb on 64-bit FreeBSD
  600Kb on 32-bit FreeBSD

:)

With a three pass optimisation I should be able to shave about another
100Kb or so off those sizes. Funny thing is, with FPC 2.7.1 (trunk) I
get slightly smaller executables.

In the case of fpGUI the executable size is not linear. I can now add
buttons, labels, edits etc to that executable, and the size will hardly
grow.

It is inevitable that with time - as more features get added to a frame
- the size of executables with grow. But jumping by Mb's at a time is a
sign of too much cross-dependencies, or a smartlinker that doesn't work
well.
