What's behind the extension size?

[dimaqq]

The compiled extension is 17MB on Linux and 3.8MB on macOS.

I wonder why.

> ls -halt  /home/dima.linux/.cache/uv/archive-v0/pdZemBY4kqsWFZkxQUvNQ/lib/pypy3.10/site-packages/reqwest/
total 17M
drwxrwxr-x  3 dima dima 4.0K Nov 12 15:42 ./
drwxrwxr-x  2 dima dima 4.0K Nov 12 15:42 __pycache__/
drwxrwxr-x 38 dima dima 4.0K Nov 12 15:22 ../
-rwxrwxr-x  2 dima dima  17M Nov 12 15:22 reqwest.pypy310-pp73-aarch64-linux-gnu.so*
-rw-rw-r--  2 dima dima  111 Nov 12 15:22 __init__.py
-rw-rw-r--  2 dima dima    0 Nov 12 15:22 py.typed
-rw-rw-r--  2 dima dima  523 Nov 12 15:22 __init__.pyi

If I strip the shared object, it's down to 3.2MB.

And it's not like all the dependencies are compiled in:

> ldd /home/dima.linux/.cache/uv/archive-v0/pdZemBY4kqsWFZkxQUvNQ/lib/pypy3.10/site-packages/reqwest/reqwest.pypy310-pp73-aarch64-linux-gnu.so
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x0000eff085972000)
	libssl.so.3 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.3 (0x0000eff085530000)
	libcrypto.so.3 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 (0x0000eff085000000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0000eff0854f0000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x0000eff084e40000)
	/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 (0x0000eff085935000)

I'm curious what goes in there.
