Yes, without compression.  So yes, that probably explains the
difference between your numbers and mine. 

That brings up an interesting question though --- why not skip
compressing files that are under 4k (or whatever the filesystem
blocksize happens to be) if they are unpacked?  It burns CPU time;
maybe not enough to be human-noticeable, but it's still not buying you
anything.
