The localization support for dotnet/runtime comes with a noticeable cost for workloads which are size sensitive and would be fine with English only.

The primary costs come from

• linker not being able to remove resource entries which are not needed
• ResourceManager implementation which is redundant for a single locale

There should be a way to switch to English mode only perhaps using some extra linker logic which converts .resources back to strings.
