XCode has a "native file format" that it saves all new projects you create
in. You can also convert old PB project files into this new native format
via a menu item, but this will prevent PB from opening your project. The new
native xcode format seems to save a lot more data into the file. My project
file got slightly bigger after converting it to Xcode, however I noticed
that the layout of the options windows (and the placement of a lot of
options) were changed. I even got a bunch of new options made available to
me after I converted the file.
As for the application size difference, remember that XCode is using a new
version of gcc in new and different ways than project builder. This new gcc
has many more compression and code optimization features, and XCode honors
and is fully integrated with all of them, thus making your overall
application size smaller. Nice, isn't it? :-)
