Lazarus does seem to generate bigger code especially with GUI kind of stuff. The minimal uncompressed size I could get in a project was 1.7 Mb.Originally Posted by Robert Kosek
However, I was able to compile some ugly old code in FPC/Lazarus and it miraculously worked. The IDE is vastly improved from what I've seen 2-3 years ago, as well as compilation time in FPC. I think FPC/Lazarus guys are doing better than those from CodeGear (guess, Delphi 2007 Trial crashed before, during and after installation). My only minor complaint is the overstrict syntax, but for the rest - I found compiled apps to be pretty stable.
Your problems might be related to SynEdit project improperly ported and I honestly didn't see any major improvements in it during last 4 years.
