Although they seem to be equal in functionality, the binary from the Debian package is around twice as large as the binary in the zip file. I do not know enough about building Go software to investigate why this is, but only part of the difference is accounted for by simply stripping the binary.

The release binaries are compressed to reduce their file size. I've changed the CI step to use the compressed binaries instead of the non-compressed ones.

Out of curiousity, what sort of runtime cost does this compression entail? Is it just a one-time thing at process creation?

It's pretty much unnoticable. We're using UPX which says it can do ~500MB/s - the binary should decompress in < 1s. As far as I know it decompresses the binary when starting it and it then runs as it would uncompressed.
