I had a look at app sizes on my phone and noticed a "cluster" around 60MB. I wonder if there's some common, huge, framework?

Binary serialization definition classes can take a large amount of binary size. Create 100 model types for protobuf with a lot of variables and you can have 3.5MB of C++ binary!

Maybe crosswalk[1], it takes about 50mb.

I've noticed this too, curious now - I'll ask some of my mobile developer contacts.
