That statement is quite biased, if not grossly misleading.  It may be 
true, I do not doubt that... but

maybe this can be narrowed down to a single commit... then it would even 
be possible to say "Lazazrus generated min exe grew by 14% from one day 
to the next"
Also true, it is misleading as this would be a rare exception day.

If you want to talk growth rate: What were the annual rates of the last 
5 years?

What maybe relevant changes/addition do the changelogs mention for those 
times?
(Or better, see my other mail, and find out what extra code really ends 
up in the exe)
