Alright I downloaded the new trial 2010 and well, what can I say - for a developer that cares that their applications would be light and small in size this is the worst choice.

Just by adding SysUtils to the Uses without any line of code it increases the file size by 63 KB.
And I tried adding also IniFiles to the Uses and also without any code the application size is increased by 182 KB.

Should I say WTF?

What if I would have 50 stuffs like these then my application would be already measured in MB without any line of code.
I know that new features and stuff like that is cool, but ONLY after you have made everything perfect already on current features.
And a price of 900 euros for just a pro version of delphi 2010 is enormous if the things I care the most is not being taken care of.

Any suggestions on this problem?
