A random question (Universal binaries twice the space?)

Do Universal binaries take up twice the space?

Do Universal binaries take up twice the space?

No, because a Mac "application" is actually - usually - a folder with a lot of resources, etc., in addition to the executable itself. However, the executable is - roughly speaking - about twice as big. The application is not.
