Just because the exe is larger does not mean that the RAM footprint is any
bigger.

Will your customers even notice, let alone ask?

If you were using one of the license compliant methods of distribution, e.g.
InstallSheild, you would already have compressed releases and you wouldn't
have to make any changes, you would just rebuild the release.

I don't think that the developers at Borland spend their time dreaming up
new ways of bloating their code. Probably just the opposite. While the
reasons may not be immediately visible to you that doesn't mean the reasons
are invalid.
