There are lots of public functions that are exported from libnss3 that Firefox doesn't use; if you modify the *.def files to stop exporting all of them and you enable link-time optimization (NOTE: I wouldn't enable PGO for NSS at this time) then libnss3 shrinks quite a bit. Further, if you remove stuff that is needed primarily for Thunderbird (e.g. nsICMS*) then you can remove more exported functions from the *.def files and shrink libnss3 even more. I had a PoC of this a year ago; I'm not sure if I still have it laying around. On top of that, I think that with a few weeks of work another 250KB-500KB of NSS object code, and probably more, could be cut out, if somebody were willing & able to do some surgery on NSS. NSS is 2.5MB on Windows right now and it probably doesn't need to be more than 1MB and probably less.
