Please understand that only the resources you include take up space, not the 
fact whether these resources come from one, two or 42 resource-files...

Which is what we try to tell you and which you seem to not understand.

Maybe a comparison will show it: Whether you define all classes in one file or 
have one file per class doesn't matter for the resulting executable/library. 
There will be differences in compile-time. But the resulting binary is the same 
once the linker is finished. And all stuff you define as qt-resources ends up in 
char* constants. Doesn't matter whether there is one .c-file and one .o-file per 
constant or one object for all, the linker will link it all together...
