Pavel:
With your provided image I can produce a 3.3 mb image with Smalltalk size = 502.
It's bigger what I think .. (two more mb what previous kernel)
Yes, the final image is huge. But I'm afraid that we will not be able to reduce the size markedly.
You plan shrink more ? It's fine to you if I try to do experiments ?
I don't expect that we can remove more than several next classes. But there are many unnecessary messages. Of course do everything you want...
