On Vista:

Yes - the .exe is 20.5 Mb, previous versions have been
c. 27 Mb.  Size of installation on disk is now 68 Mb,
previous versions around 83 Mb.  Big improvement.

Installation appeared perfectly normal.

Ran lilypond-book and texi2html on pitches.itely.
Output looks fine.  First run took c. 2 mins to
get going, second started immediately.  Presumably
fonts are being processed first time ??

Uninstall took exactly 10 mins, and left three files
undeleted:

/usr/bin/lilypad-unicode.exe
/usr/share/lilypond/current/dvips/ps/lilyponddefs.ps
/usr/share/lilypond/current/dvips/ps/music-drawing-routines.ps

I don't know if this is a change in behaviour as
I normally just delete or rename the lilypond
directory.
