In some cases, size matters. In general it is a trade-off: 1) We want our install images to be small, so they can download quickly and not take up much space on disk and 2) We want our install to be all-included, for most common uses, so the user does not need to download and install additional files. I'm not saying our current packages are mathematically optimized for these two constraints, but we're probably not too far off. But there are two things worth looking at: 1) We don't want to include unnecessary files in our install. That is just dead space. It might be worth doing an inventory of everything that is installed to see if everything is actually used. 2) In multi-user installations, with Citrix, Windows Terminal Services, etc., the partition of files between the program files and the per-user profile is critical. It might be worth examining this more closely to make sure we're not placing read-only files (like spell checking dictionaries) in the per-user directory. This would be suboptimal because it would lead to N copies of the read-only file for N users.
