The sizes I have on my RedHat-9 system (GCC 3.2.2), with most features
enabled:

Squid-2.5: 10689204 unstripped / 734788 stripped
Squid-3: 25946986 unstripped / 1144060 stripped

On my RedHat-7.3 system (RedHat GCC 2.96-113) the sizes are slightly
different with the exact same Squid features enabled:

Squid-2.5: 2557934 unstripped / 725644 stripped
Squid-3: 4784002 unstripped / 1143292 stripped

As you can see there is a huge difference in the amount of debug
information included by the later GCC versions, but the actual binary
size is a few bytes smaller on RedHat 9 than 7.3.

The growth in binary size from Squid-2.5 to Squid-3 (0.7 MB -> 1.1 MB)
is about what is expected from the amount of development which has gone
into Squid-3 and the switch from C to C++.

Note: The Squid-3 binary sizes are preliminary as Squid-3.0.STABLE1 has
not yet been released and may well change considerably before Squid-3.0
reaches a STABLE release.

Henrik
