Find out reason for binary size increase #46

Closed fernandreu closed 5 years ago

fernandreu commented 5 years ago

The executable size from v1.4 to v1.5 increased from ~2.9 MiB to ~4.5 MiB (before the pdb files were removed). Find out the root reason for this, and whether there is any unused package reference that can be removed.

Probably, this happened after AutoFac was added (which is definitely a package being used). Hence, it could be there is no reasonable way of reducing the executable size further.

After having a look, it seems it must definitely have been due to AutoFac. There isn't much to do about that, so closing for now at least.
