#Tools to shrink the output of deno compile?

Are there any tools to decrease the filesize of a deno compiled executable? I care primarily about Windows, but am interested in hearing about Linux options, too.

This blog says 1.41 shrank the binaries from ~116MB to ~58MB, but deno 2 .exes are ~80MB

Deno 1.41: smaller deno compile binaries

We've roughly halved the size of deno compile binaries, added official Linux ARM64 builds, continued to land Node.js compatibility improvements, and more.

Using Windows' / NTFS's built-in compression feature, I can reduce the size on disk by ~30MB

I'm guessing the 80MB is already a compile-specific build of deno with all the CLI tooling stripped out, deno fmt, deno install, etc?

since deno.exe is 107MB
