It might depend upon how you compile the app too. With project open and having focus, from main menu select Project / Project Info. From the popup window that appears the first tab (project) has 3 checkboxes - debug info, encryped, and attach icon. I THINK if you deselect 'debug info' that the comments are not compiled into the .exe, thus making it smaller.
