I suspect that's just whole blocks vs actual bytes. Even a 1-byte
file can't take up less than a whole block of disk space, which will
show up as something like "4KB on disk (1 byte)".

Only 2.5? You sure you didn't drop a digit somehow? I'm still on
Leopard, but TextEdit.app is 22M here according to du (while Finder
reports 15,050,855 bytes).
