The change in the size could be the result of recoding/refactoring the core code to reduce the size and or improve performance.
New versions need not require more bytes, just smarter bytes and it is a sensible exercise to do this whenever possible. If this is the case it is removing bloat in the code the first time, and you will not see it in subsequent "Re-Upgrades". If this were the case however It would be better to build it into the wiki so you can "clean up" from inside a wiki directly.
