use http client if you want speed . if browser is only solution then you need to disable everything you can ex . images, scripts and other blockable objects .
I was expecting to get a single exe file as a result of compiling.
BAS gives a folder with several files as result of compile operation. You can zip it and send to customer. In fact that folder conatins only online installer, which will download correct BAS version with correct architecture on first run.
