Compress releases #35

Closed walles closed 3 years ago

walles commented 3 years ago

Experiment with compressing our release binaries using https://upx.github.io/; they are almost 7MB now which starts feeling silly...

walles commented 3 years ago

UPX compression results, 55ms startup time penalty for 60% smaller binaries:

Plain Compressed
Linux binary size 5.4MB 2.0MB
macOS binary size 6.7MB 2.4MB
macOS startup time 19.7ms 75.3ms

Another way would be to just gzip the binaries and have the user gunzip before installing.

But for now I'll just go for doing nothing until somebody other than me asks about this.
