Question about symmetric AES cipher in GnuPG

Hi Werner and all, I was wondering why the binary file size when using symmetric AES encryption with GnuPG is larger than with other apps, I have tested so far. As an example encrypting a text file containing 'Hello World': gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 hw.txt gives me a file size of 87 B
