Just curious, I mean I know it clears out unused entries, but does that make a significant difference?

Does it increase download speed dramatically?
It cleans out unused entries in the rsc file, which is useful if you update an icon.

That's really dependent generally on how much activity the RSC has seen. If you've deleted (or modified, even, but I'm not entirely sure on how DM actually handles modifications- sometimes it'll keep the old entry around and make a new one, some times it will just modify the old one) a lot of files without clearing the RSC, then the number of entries can cause quite the increase in the file size. The increase depends on the contents of the file but can add up rather quickly if you're dealing with large files over a long period of time.
