Upgraded an ongoing installation from V7.8.1 to V7.8.2 this AM. My gateway backup size has gone from 170Meg down to 20Meg. Does this seem right or is V7.8.2 more efficient with back ups?

7.8.2 shipped with the new sqlite internal DB, which among other things does not have whatever bug caused the HSQL DB size to grow out of control.
