Metricbeat build size

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I have built metricbeat.exe (version 6.5.4) from the x-pack directory x-pack/metricbeat.
I have added a single extra custom module, and the build filesize is 60.534KB, the metricbeat.exe that i can download from elastic.co is 75.807KB

Does anyone know how the elastic.co metricbeat.exe is built?

For more details on how we build the binaries, best follow the source code from here: https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/Makefile#L162 There are quite a few steps involved.
