Please, Kurt, for a non-programmer user like me, would you please explain this?

I really don't know what a *.dll file does [except vaguely] and don't understand
at all why the size of a chess-playing program's *.dll file would be
significant.

I am hopeful that you, or somebody, will shed some light on this.  Who knows?
Maybe after reading the answer I might, as a result, become so excited about
chess programming that I might launch into a lifetime pursuit of the "Holy
Grail" chess engine which whips all opposition!  : )
