    Yes, programs (especially Windows ones) require a ton of overhead, even if the actual program you wrote is very short. If you have unnecessary #includes, by all means get rid of them, but otherwise, you're kinda stuck. If it really matters to you, and it's not a Winblows program, you could always go to a lower level, such as writing the whole thing in assembly.

    Ooooh boy. You'd be looking for serious trouble if you messed with the headers.

    Only functions that are used in your program get 'compiled' into it. That means you can include all the headers you want (although its bad programming practice) and unless you use the function, your app wont get any bigger.

    Personally I wouldnt worry about. Size doesnt matter.
