Mac OS X Apple has already announced the successor to Leopard, called Snow Leopard, during the WWDC not too long ago. They explained that Snow Leopard would not focus on user-visible features, but instead would deliver performance improvements and resource footprint reductions. One of the measures Apple has taken is the size reduction of application bundles, which has resulted in dramatic weight loss for a lot of applications. AppleInsider has found out what exactly Apple has been doing to lose that much weight.

binary vs bundle

Looks like a lot of the use of the word "binary" in the summary is inaccurate - since it appears a large percentage of the crap removed as stuff OTHER than the actual compiled binary.

Why not use the term "bundle" as the linked article does? This seems to be a more accurate description of what is going on.
