Yes, it does store the compiled code in the form. Not sure what it does with it, though, because each time you open the form, it re-checks all the code (As big as yours is, I'll bet Forms takes forever to open it.).
If you want to get down to the smallest possible fmb, use File, Administration, Convert and go from binary-to-text, then do it again from text-to-binary. But this is only good if you need to store your fmb in its smallest state. As soon as you open and then re-save the form, its size begins to grow again.
