The difference in size is almost certainly due to dynamic vs static libraries. Full releases are configured to build dynamic libraries by default. So most of the code is hidden away in these libraries, and the actual binary is relatively small. The CVS tree is aimed at active development, so is configured to link statically (to ensure that any installed libraries don't interfere with the new test version). This means that all of the active code is included within the agent binary directly - hence the hike in size. I wouldn't worry about it.
