I have no idea, but Im pretty sure that blanking label captions will reduce
.exe size :), and speed load time (marginally).  IMO, VB runs code to
populate your label with design time info, at form load time, as opposed to
having some static object serialized in the form file.  IMO, the caption is
not a fixed width field, so blanking it reduces size.

I'm developing an app (VB5) with a rather large number of label controls, so
the following _might_ have some interest:

Here goes: Does it matter for the size of the final EXE if label.captions
(and other captions for that matter) are left blank in design mode or if
they are written fully out.

I'm loading all strings from .RES anyway, so I _could_ blank out all lables
in design mode before compiling. But I don't want to.....
