title: Is my .XAP file too big? and if so how do i make it smaller?
body: <p>I'm currently doing some work on a silverlight LOB application i wrote for a customer..</p>
  
  <p>When i deploy i can't help noticing how big the xap file is (4mb) and considering it's not a massive app it seems a little unusual.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the telerik silverlight toolkit (but only including the required themes - 2 I think)..</p>
  
  <p>There's about 1mb of images (which is maybe a bit too much for a LOB app)..</p>
  
  <p>Is this average for a silverlight application?</p>
  
  <p>Whats the average size of your xap files?</p>
  
  <p>How would I go about "minifying" or compressing my xap file?</p>
