I suppose that depends on the template handling mechanism the compiler 
toolchain uses but I would expect that info to be erased at link time 
(shared libraries can be also. Anyway, my affirmation is based on 
"impressions" that might be false (the cause of the bloat might be 
related to the instantiation and *use* of many different classes and 
functions created using template techniques).

What it's clear is that compilation times are much higher, and I really 
appreciate compilation times (more compilation time means less 
programmer productivity).

I should definitely do some small tests to see if executable size is 
actually increased. Thanks for the comment.
