Dave is an unknown quantity at this point
The reason why the slipstreamed version began much larger is because all the files get extracted during the preperation of slipstreaming.
That also explains why it compressed so much more than the virgin copy, the uncompressed version could get re-compressed much more than the compressed version.

Not sure why the slipstreamed version ended up smaller though, maybe some of the updates or replaced files are smaller than the original.
