What he is probably seeing comes from the fact that some of the figure
elements (line width, font size) are in physical dimensions.  As you
make the figure size smaller with figsize, these dimensions are
unchanged, and so they look bigger in proportion to things that scale
proportionately with the figsize, eg the axes area.  There is not
built-in scaling of these physical dimensions with figsize.
