OpenSSL is quite large, so I would not be that surprised with 2 MB size
if you link OpenSSL statically. I get about 1.2 MB wpa_supplicant.exe
(after stripping the binary).

The CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED enabled WMI event processing in
wpa_supplicant. This used to be done with an external helper program
(i.e., that integrated is referring to that functionality now being
included in the main binary). If you do not include WMI event support,
wpa_supplicant will try to survive by polling NDIS for association
status changes. This slows things down and breaks dynamic interface
addition/removal (e.g., WLAN USB dongle) and WPA2 pre-authentication.
