Page-in linking reduces the size of the installation package by allowing only the necessary parts of a program to be loaded into memory when needed, rather than loading the entire program at once. This means that the initial download size can be smaller, as not all components need to be included in the initial package. Instead, additional resources can be downloaded on demand, which is a technique mentioned in the session Design advanced games for Apple platforms. This approach helps create a seamless user experience by minimizing waiting times and reducing the overall size of the installation package.
