Description
I think we should better take a look on our generated code, why it is so big:
And yeah, the release lib is 500MB!!, during the debug is only 36MB. Don't ask me why 😳

Research direction
Start by reproducing the release and debug builds described in the issue and comparing their binary sizes. Inspect the generated code and relevant build configuration to determine why the release library reaches 500 MB while the debug build is 36 MB. Done means the size discrepancy is explained and the release binary size is reduced or the cause is documented.
