We're building everything NOOPTIMIZE so it isn't worth looking at.

That said, 

EDTSHR.EXE, Alpha, optimized: 493 blocks on disk, 179,712 bytes of code
EDTSHR.EXE, Itanium, optimized: 724 blocks on disk, 302,960 bytes of code
EDTSHR.EXE, x86, NOT optimized: 589 blocks on disk, 227,120 bytes of code

and don't ask about x86 optimization.  We haven't even built the LLVM optimizer.  We won't bother until we get native compilers in place.
