Hi,
I have compiled irrlicht0.9 myself with Visual C++ 2003 and my irrlicht.dll is 2.5MB where the one from the SDK is only 1.3MB .
An other problem all the examples compiled with the new dll work half slower.
How could I solv that problem?
Help please.

Your not by any chance compiling in bebug mode, if so change it to release. Although I'm not sure how to go about that using VC++2003.
If it's not that then I can't think of anything, well not off the top of my head.

The size of your dll depends on 3 things:
1.If you're compiling on debug or release mode (like Chris said)
2.Which code optimizations you're using. There are optimizations specific for filesize or perhaps you're including optimizations you might not need making your dll (and exes) bigger
3. How much modified your Irrlicht version is. The heavier the mods, the heavier the dll. Try compiling original Irrlicht in release mode and compare it to your modded version.

Build -> Configuration Manager -> Change the combobox to Release instead of Debug.
