One of the major problems we've had since upgrading to X11R4 is the size
of the applications. A typical (athena widget) application is of the
order of 2Mb; even a simple one is over 1Mb (R4 applications seem to be
between 20 and 50% bigger than their R3 equivelants). These soon add up
with the result that we frequently run out of swap space. It would be
really nice if the size of these could be reduced somewhat.
