On Debian stable (7.1), a simple "Hello World" program dramatically varies the executable size depending on compiler version and linking type:

On Windows 32 bit, I get about a 120K increase in size, and this is pretty much entirely due to the increase in size of the tables in std.internal.uni_tab.d (from looking at the .map file).

Jordi, did you run strip on those executables?

No. Here I attach the results of "$ strip --strip-unneeded hello.d":
