huge filesize overhead - twice the size of react+redux implementation?

hi!

we're considering using preact + preact-redux as an alternative to react + react-redux. This is pretty much solely due to bundle size savings migrating to preact.

However preact-redux seems to take up a crazy amount of space. On a fresh preact-cli app with only 1 additional dependency outside of redux and preact-redux, preact-redux is 35% of the total bundle size at 41.8KB on a production build. Way larger than preact, preact-router, polyfills, etc.


Meanwhile in a react app production build I am seeing redux @ 5.76KB + react-redux @ 11.79KB === 17.55KB total, versus preact-redux's 41.9KB. Something doesn't seem right here!

Both are using latest versions of respective libraries (Redux + react/preact-redux).

any ideas how we can bring this bundle size down? It's unclear to me why this would be over twice the filesize.
