How can reduce the image size to 5Mb ?

I tried with 3.6Basic and used all the removal stuff I found in 
SqueakMap. Then, I removed Genie as described in "majorShrink" page. I 
got an image arround 7.5Mb.

Then I tried removeallUnsentMessages... Its a dangerous operation as 
mentionned in the page.
The evaluation of the provided code opened the emergency debugger and I 
had no choice except killing Squeak.

So, I tried to remove the unsent messages by succesive doits (no loop). 
I could repeat the operation (I tried at least 3 times) and got an image 
with 6.8Mb and some debuggers opennings. But,  when I tried to remove 
unused classes emergency debugger shows up...
