The dll can be used for many things, mainly it contains logic that cannot be easily done in MT4. Sometimes it's for security, as MT4 ex4 files can easily be reversed engineered, whereas dll's are harder. If the dll is large, it probably just means most of the logic is in the dll - probably runs quicker in the dll too.
