Yes, by nearly half.  This is true of all "fat" applications, since they
efectively contain two complete sets of object code (one for 68k and one for
PPC).

But as time goes by, I'm delivering to fewer and fewer 68k systems.  Aside
from some public schools and a handful of other specialized cases, it seems
few people who haven't upgraded machines in over 7 years also have the RAM
and other system resources to make effective use of the stuff I've been
building.

What percentage of your audience requires 68k?

Such things are often transmission errors, worth retrying.
