Footprint of this module is really huge

[jlagneau]

When I create a base nuxt app, just adding this module makes the build really huge. The net increase is about 1MB in stat size with a lot of libs (browserify, elliptic being the main culprits) and it end up being larger than Nuxt all its dependencies combined. Is there a way to reduce this module footprint? No amount of splitting seems to reduce that as I use stored data on pretty much every pages.

Here an example:

create-nuxt-app v3.6.0
✨  Generating Nuxt.js project in test
? Project name: test
? Programming language: JavaScript
? Package manager: Yarn
? UI framework: None
? Nuxt.js modules: None
? Linting tools: None
? Testing framework: None
? Rendering mode: Single Page App
? Deployment target: Static (Static/Jamstack hosting)
? Development tools: None

$ nuxt build -a

Entrypoint app = runtime.1d766ff.js commons/app.36dabdf.js app.d8cdaa7.js

When I add this module and rebuid:

// nuxt.config.js file
export default {
  modules: ['nuxt-vuex-localstorage'],
}

$ nuxt build -a
