q.exe size more than doubles...?

I am curious why the q.exe file more than doubled in size from 156KBto 348KB in recent versions. Seems very unlike Mr. Whitney…

My guess would be that the increase in code size is due to optimizations which are making the code larger, but faster (i.e. unrolling). Don’t forget L2 cache is growing as well… I’m sure new features are playing a part in it as well.
