| My Apache httpd binary for centos from a year and a half ago (2.2.8, I think) was 313,372 bytes. The new one httpd for 2.2.17 is 1,772,059. Can this be right? |

Did you compile it yourself, used yum or an rpm?
My self compiled apache on unbuntu with all libs and docs is 21 Megabyte  Your 1,772,059 bytes seem to be small. Or is it just httpd? My httpd binary is 1888515 bytes. I think the size depends how much modules you compile in static or not static (dso).
I think the size is ok

| I was referring just to the 'httpd' binary file itself. It was 303K a little more than a year ago and worked fine, but the current build is a whopping 1.7 MB. It seems odd that it would have bloated so much in such a relatively short time. |

Well the libraries are rather big ... so if one or two were statically built this time around ... that could make the difference.
On Linux, this is a real possibility since you have a built in so to speak APR. 2.2.17 is on a new APR-Util and it may be that something else in that system cannot use the newer one, so the maintainers statically build in APR-Util ... which on Win the library is almost 1 meg.
Most (not all) the bloat has been in the form of modules, which is only bloat if needed in a sense cause they sit dormant if not. DSOs that is. Bloat if built in. |
