As it happens, whatever you're talking about does seem to explain the whole
difference. I copied the text into Smile and compiled, and it's back to 36k.
Recompiled: 36k. Logged out and in, recompiled: 36k. Opened in SE, compiled:
up to 104k. After that resaving it in Smile kept it at 104k, so Smile
doesn't reverse the "damage" to the file. The script doesn't need this extra
girth to run or save the readable version, 'cause if I don't recompile it
after logging in, but run it, it stays the same size. What's this about?
