I think that would be a really cool thing if VDS just compiled only the
necessary units on the fly and then made just one EXE.

I am begining to realize that it may NOT be possible to reduce the runtime size as far as Delphi is used (well atleast practically). Making more modules will only bloat it up further  .

I think what you're describing is a linker, like Delphi and other compiled languages use. VDS is an interpreted language, not compiled. It's not practical to do this for an interpreter, and I don't know of any one that does. The script engine that processes the script has the potential to call any part of the VDS runtime code, whether it does or not.

That's true. Breaking the runtime down into separate DLLs is the only way to increase the granularity of it so that you can leave out the bits you don't need. But because every DLL created in Delphi has an overhead, you are likely to lose more than you gain.
