The company I work at has a large Windows program.  We just got Borland C++
and made the necessary conversions and compiled it.  The size differences are
quite surprising.

   Microsoft C 5.1 .EXE:  720672 bytes
       Borland C++ .EXE:  842848 bytes

The optimization for Microsoft is -Os for space.  The optimization for Borland
is all but -Z (aliasing).  I'm interested in knowing what everyone else is
seeing.
