Of course it should vary if any classes are exported. The whole point
of BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT is to instantiate a piece of code for each
element in the cross-product of exported classes and visible
archives. If you make more archives visible in the translation unit,
more code will necessarily be instantiated (and run at startup).
