I am having a really difficult time optimizing my code for C and
C++ programs with DJGPP.

a simple "Hello World" generates the following:

gcc hello.c -s -o hello.exe  (generates 36K executable)

gxx hello.cpp -s -o hello.exe  (generates 103K executable)


Am I doing something wrong?  Why are they so huge?


One more thing, if I were developing a game or something where I would
not need stdio.h or iostream.h, what would I sacrifice besides the
standard console output?  printf/scanf/cout/cin?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
