Quite: bzipped tarballs of everything except the examples, translations, QWE, QtWebView and Qt3D:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 363M Sep  8 13:22 qt5-kde-devel-5.9.6.linux_3.x86_64.tbz2 (1003Mb uncompressed tarball)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 199M Nov  5 19:22 qt5-kde-devel-5.9.7.linux_3.x86_64.tbz2 (710Mb uncompressed tarball)

The first built with GCC 8, the 2nd with clang 6.0; identical compiler options (release build, -O3, force_debug_info for qtbase).

R.
