Compiler/MSP430F5335: Why does driverlib take so much flash

Part Number:MSP430F5335

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Looking at the project.map file, I have the following lines:

.const     0    0000a110    00005782     
                  0000a110    00000916     driverlib_msp430.lib : ucs.obj (.const:.string)
                  0000aa26    000008da     debug.obj (.const:.string)
                  0000b300    000004f4     modem_sm.obj (.const:.string)
                  0000b7f4    00000232     modem.obj (.const:.string)

The driverlib_msp430.lib is the drivelib that I compiled as a library.  So my question is, it looks like it takes up 0x916 bytes, thats 4.5K of flash, why so much?  any way to reduce it?
