I was reporting how many bytes came over the wire. Your figures are for 
disk usage.

My disk usage:

SVN size 127 MB, size on disk 293 MB, files 52,259, directories 8,799.
CVS size  61 MB, size on disk  96 MB, files 14,066, directories 1,493.

While the disk difference is a bit unsettling, it probably isn't a 
showstopper for most people. I was particularly concerned with volume of 
data over the net, because if too large it would be a showstopper for those 
with dial-up connections.
