Size comparison with CVS

Hi all,

yesterday I played a little importing one of my CVS repositories using
cvs2svn. It contains the sql code needed by a database, so almost
esclusively text sources.

I was a little bit disappointed by the fact that the final size of the
SVN repos is a little less than twice that of the CVS repos. This
*after* i cleaned up the logs with an hot-backup:

CVS repos: 4.0Mb
SVN repos: 7.2Mb

Digging inside the /db, I notice that the strings file, the one I'm
assuming contains the actual sources, is 3.9Mb.

db $ ls -lug
totale 7198
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lele 241664 5 ott 20:12 changes
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lele 8192 5 ott 20:12 copies

-rw-rw-r-- 1 lele 262144 5 ott 20:12 transactions
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lele 8192 5 ott 20:12 uuids

Is there any explanation of this difference?

thanx&bye,
lele.
