i tried that

git clone --recursive https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git git_boost
cd git_boost
mkdir _build
cd _build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=_install
-DBOOST_INCLUDE_LIBRARIES="thread;asio"
cmake --build . --target install -j16

got me 49MB and 5000 files - still big but better then my tests before
