*Hello Scott,*

*Compile your splash_qrc.py into a splash_qrc.pyc file, it will become very
small again.*

*Here is what I get on my current project :*

*File                  Size*
*Resources (png, jpg) : 124172*
*resources.qrc :          429*
*resources_rc.py :      373507*
*resources_rc.pyc :      89712*

*The only file that will really be loaded by python (pyc : 89712) is even
smaller than the sum of the original files (124172).*
*pyrcc is making my life a lot easier, I love it.*

*Cheers.*
