Is it normal for debug builds to be huge?

Our debug builds are huge. I know they should be bigger than production, but is a ~60MB executable normal?

60MB does sound huge. Since we have so many external libraries, I wonder if we are building them in debug mode also (I don't think we need to debug them?).

[bearbin]

But then again, is 60MB really big enough to worry? Even on slow internet it's just a minute or 2 more to download.

Even if this is not a bandwidth concern, it's strange, and it may be affecting exe loading time or something. I think it's at least worth investigating.
