Maybe that is true, or maybe one large change is responsible for .5 meg (say). This is an empirical question, and rather than guess, I am suggesting we find out the answer. If indeed this growth is due to many small changes then probably there is nothing to be done. However, if one thing has eaten .5 meg, maybe a few hours of work can eliminate that, and it would be worth trying.
