repo size discrepency when loading from dump

I have an issue with subversion dumps (RHEL 5.2; subversion 1.5.0; viewvc
1.0.7) when I'm trying to load onto a new server (CentOS 5.4; subversion
1.6.11; viewvc 1.0.11). On disk, the size of the folder for one of the
repositories is 1.3gb. When I do a dump, the file size is 1.3gb.

However, when I load on the new server, it finishes with no errors but the
size is 440mb.

I tried the same thing with another repository with the same results. The
initial size is just over 2gb but after loading on the new box, it is only
1.3gb

Are there differences in the new version that is essentially normal behavior
to see this size reduction?
