Huge .mod file created with ifort 10.0 vs. ifort 9.1

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen HUGE .mod files being generated by ifort. We have a 40Kb module that uses a number of HDF5 modules, and the .mod file generated went from about 7.5 Mb (ifort 9.1) to 65 Mb (ifort 10.0). This is an issue for us because this occurs on a multi-user system, where disk space is very tight. If anyone else noticed this, have they noticed if this went away in the 11.0 compiler? We won't be able to upgrade here for a while.

Are the modules from your sources, or from HDF5?

Check your compiler options and make sure that none of

-g

-fast

-pgo

-ipo

-pg

are being used IF size is your primary concern.

I would not expect any of those options to affect .mod files. However, version 10.0 is quite old and I know we've done more work on module processing since then. What happens with version 11?
