I think the sizes you are getting are due also to the fact that if you just 'cargo build', you get a debuggable executable. If you 'cargo build --release' you should get smaller bins.

Anyway, yes final size is a valuable metric. I'm planning a retake on this, also because some crates have evolved quite a bit since I tested them, and some are finally usable (yeah). In tht case I will try to spend two words about binary size
