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.

Just to be clear about one idea flying around recently.
Applications bundles on OS X DO NOT duplicate any system libraries (more generally called framework), absolutely not. If an application needs to have its custom frameworks then it does put in its bundle, but the system framework are not duplicated in the bundles.
