 improves your application's startup performance and in-memory footprint.

+An on-disk cache (CDS Archive or AOT Cache) increases the size of the custom image to get these performance optimizations.
+It can be of significant size (tens of MB). The size of the on-disk cache is
 reported at the end of the build output.
