Thank you for the tips and link.

Yeah, me, too, but when I saw that many people's compiled files were so much smaller than mine, I decided to investigate. I should have seen it straight off, really -- if you compile without those options, your executible is flooded with a myriad of exception handling and other strings (the last few kb of text in each executible, and a lot of object code in between).
I'll also change the topic of this post so that people won't look over it that would find it helpful.
