This may be due to code optimization settings. We have seen this as well where the "default" optimizations (and thus some of the compiler flags) are different between Nant and different versions of VS.Net.
We worked around this my explicitly setting the use of certain flags in VS.Net. We did this by setting it to something else and then changing it back. This in turn forces the appropriate attribute to be written in the project file which will force Nant not to use a default value but use the set value.

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.
