My question is Xcode/ibtool related and not Cocoa, but since Xcode-users list 
is decommissioned quite some time ago, and related subtopic in Apple Dev Forum 
isn't very active, I hope you won't mind me asking here, since I couldn't fine 
explanation anywhere else.

I've finally upgraded to macOS 10.13 and Xcode 9 and ever since that happened, 
I've noticed the sizes of compiled NIBs being considerably bigger than what it 
was when compiling with Xcode 8 on macOS 10.12 (10.12 SDK). That difference can 
sometimes come close to 95% ! For example, I've got a (pretty packed) NIB, 
which compiles with Xcode 8 and 10.12 SDK into a compiled file of 51 KB. The 
same file compiles with Xcode 9 and 10.13 SDK into a compiled file of 95 KB!

What is the reason for this. I compiled projects in terminal and in the 
"CompileXIB" step I see ibtool called with pretty standard set of options, 
nothing fancy there. Currently I don't have any machine with macOS 10.12 and 
Xcode 8 installed to compare what were the options passed to ibtool there, but 
whatever they were, I wouldn't expect this kind of difference.

Can someone enlighten me here please?

Thanks,
