94 MB standalone in Max 6.x?

I made a simple patcher, saved it as a standalone, and was surprised it was 94 MB.

I took a quick look under package contents, did some trial and error stripping out of frameworks, etc. put in a standalone object, but it's still hard to get a standalone under 40 MB. That's roughly double what is was under Max 5.

Any thoughts or tips on making smaller standalones under Max 6?

Most of that difference is probably down to the relative sizes of the Max 5 vs 6 runtimes. With that in mind, I'm guessing getting a much smaller standalone size than waht you have with MAx 6 is going to be difficult (at best).
