Well as is often the case the limitation is memory. When you have a 4 meg exe, it all has to laod into memory when you run it...some people use tactics like stripping code from certain SCX memo fields that isn't needed in the compiled version to cut down on size.

I would just make sure it still performs with reasonable loading and execution speed on the typical workstation where it is to be deployed.
