Repo packing with subversion 1.6 results

I have sharded repo using 1.5.6 with 22K revisions, size 2.9G
I loaded its dumps into a new repo using 1.5.1 (I meant to use 1.5.6 but
this should do)
My new repo has the same size as my original (expected).
I run upgrade/packing on it with 1.6 and all I save is 100M.

I load the dumps again but this time I use 1.6 and my repo is now 2G. I do
the packing and my repo shrinks by 100M.

Are these expected results? Why such diff in size loading with 1.6?
btw my repo is mostly source code but I do have some binaries.

cheers
