It will actually be a little smaller than a standalone SWF. That's because
Shockwave uses a series of compression methods upon its media.

Note, though, that the Flash *Player* is small and very fast to start.
You'll still likely see a faster start to a SWF file than to a SWF in a
DCR.

(And remember that vector art is not always smaller than pixel art...
bitmaps increase in size with screen area and color depth, but usually give
you detail for free. Vector art increases in filesize with the total curve
count, but gives you variable resolution for free.)
