thanks a lot for the quick answer.

Ok, this is what was my idea, too, that unused subs are included. Didn't
know that they are replaced by empty stubs.

Ok, that makes it clear where the difference comes from. I guess that
the ~550 empty stubs take up a considerable space.

Any plans for changing this feature/limitation?
OTOH I would say that it really doesn't hurt too badly as soon as we
consider real world problems. It is true that for one char documents
this is a bad thing, but as soon as there are a lot of characters
included, the difference should get less severe.
Again, thanks a lot
