Smaller stack size

Now this is odd, but a very happy odd.
As many of you know, I pulled all of the graphics out of the main
stack, put them into their own stack, and compressed that stack. I
added a boatload of new graphics at the same time.
Now, in plain stack form, this saved about 1 MB even with the 100 or
so added graphics AND bigger stack size. I added together the stack
sizes of the two stacks in the new version, versus the one stack in
the old version.
But once it was turned into a standalone, the total savings was about 9 MB!
I don't get it. I mean, it's not logical. I love it, but it's not
logical. I keep looking at the folders to see what I missed, but I
didn't miss anything. The last version standalone folder is 14.6 MB,
while the new version standalone folder is 5.9 MB. (Standalones plus
additional stacks, text files, etc.)
Wow!
