[uClibc] size difference between uclibc and glibc

Can someone give an idea on what size difference it gives if I 
switch to use uclibc instead of glibc?  Also, probably a dumb question,
the applications should have the same size no matter what C library
you are using, correct?

If the later is true, it seems if your system has more applications then one 
would have less movtivation to use uclibc.

Size reduction seems to be the most bragging about point of uclibc.
This questions probably should be on FAQ. :)

Also, are there other benefits to switch to uclibc?

Thanks in advance.
