Its worth noting that the design of the RPython JIT will always result in a large amount of static data in the resulting binary. The RPython translator basically generates a bytecode representation of most of your interpreter and bakes that into the binary. You can probably expect at least a 2x size increase in the size of your binary. As a reference point, after stripping [Pycket](https://github.com/pycket/pycket)'s binaries are 6.1Mi without the JIT and 16Mi with the JIT.
