Well this is just crazy. I have use ILDASM to compare the IL of all the code and it is identical! I also compared the manifests, it turns out the manifest of the smaller DLL is actually BIGGER that manifest of the larger DLL (it had a text change in the Assembly Info).
I am going to re-create my VS project and see if I can reproduce this in a simpler manner that I can then post. BTW - The application is a DLL, so I do no think there is an ICO resource in the larger version.
