[Lazarus] Compiled file size (again)

I know this topic has been discussed multiple times but I am astonished 
about it repeatedly.
I know that FPC/Lazarus exe files are way larger in size than i.e. 
Delphi exe files.
But I am wondering why it even increases in such short time slots:

I compiled my program without change with the following builts
and resulting sizes (after stripping debug information):

Lazarus-0.9.31-33059-fpc-2.5.1-20111024-win32: 1.643.520 bytes
Lazarus-0.9.31-34078-fpc-2.5.1-20111210-win32: 1.872.896 bytes

The size itself is huge IMO but it even increases rapidly.
229,376 bytes (nearly 14%) added in not even two months is a lot.

Anybody who has an idea why?
