You can make a hard link from one to the other to save disk space. These two executables are so that when you install the next version of Emacs, you can still access the previous one, if you want. It's standard Emacs practice on all platforms. The size of the binaries is large because it includes debug info. The previous build included only a basic debug info, this one includes much more. This is important when there are bugs to report. > Still a bit slower than the 24.5 version. Loading emacs with my init file takes 13.2 seconds with 25.1-2, and > 10.6 with the older 24.5. Not in my experience, the performance is the same.
