Snow Leopard Putting OS X On a Diet, Applications to Shrink Dramatically
5:27AM Gizmodo US Edition | There might be more to Snow Leopard than meets the eye, as rumours have emerged outlining tremendous cuts in application size for 10.6. Mail.app will drop from 287MB to 91MB, iChat from 111MB to 52MB, and iCal from 89MB to 48MB.

As a whole, the Snow Leopard’s Utilities folder will take up just 25% of the space that it does in 10.5.
