I just tried this on my computer and the files are the same size
whether I save it manually or through your script. Are you looking at
the byte size of the file or how much disk space it takes up?
The finder will show how much disk space it takes up, which will be in
increments of 4KB (the block size) if you use the default setting for
the file system. You need to "Get Info" to see the byte size of the
file.

The script I wrote should generate a default filename to save the
current active window from BBEdit. Somehow I get the idea I'm doing
something wrong as the file I save via my script are always double as
big in size then the files I save via the BBEdit app.
try
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
set this_file to window 1
set the target_path to (choose file name default name "DefaultName")
as string
save this_file to file target_path
close this_file
end tell
on error error_message
display dialog error_message
end try
