That's indeed true.. but you do gain something:

$ ls -l /opt/kde/bin/kioslave
-rwxr-xr-x  1 kvo kvo 27048 Jul 24 13:09 /opt/kde/bin/kioslave

$ ls -l /opt/kde.vis/bin/kioslave
-rwxr-xr-x  1 kvo kvo 22342 Jul 24 01:43 /opt/kde.vis/bin/kioslave

18% smaller binary due to a smaller dynamic segment. (and extra work for the
dynamic linker)


Question is ofcourse.. does it matter.. I'll let somebody else decide :)
