    Short answer is: nothing. As designed. 
    This is what EMB calls native applications: slower and bigger than bad non-native.

    Delphi produces native binaries. It packages them with libraries (which depend on the components you use). And debug tooling, which adds a lot. I have deployed apps significantly smaller than the numbers listed here. You must have Release configuration, trim useless Java libraries, and so on.
    When compared to plain vanilla native apps, yes much bigger. If you start adding a lot of capabilities, the difference becomes less relevant.
