     7 Configure build with disabling unused features e.g.:

     9   $ ./configure --without-png

    10 

    11 ** Link dynamically.

    12 

    13 Link dynamically instead statically (on your platform shared library may be

    14 already present).

    15 

    16 ** Avoid debug build.

    17 

    18 Make release/final build instead debug.

    19 

    20 ** Packer.

    21 

    22 Use packers. Packer compress binary so binary smaller. When program load

    23 decompress itself, so startup time increase.
