With SIP V3 (snapshot) and PyQt-3.9, libqtc.pyd is 3.8 MB
With SIP V4 (snapshot) and PyQt 3.9, qt.pyd is 2.5 MB

The reason for the decrease in size is that the inter module 
dependencies have gone away SIP V4. As far as I know, it is not possible 
on Windows to make this smaller. Optimizing for size (-O1) may give you 
a performance penalty.
But what is your problem with a module size of 4 megabytes in an 
environment where installations or patches always have hundreds of 
megabytes.
