 * Hey Magistar,
 * That’s a known artifact… Happens rarely.
 * Not exactly sure what causes it.
 * The database is a dynamic system, so, while running the plugin other transactions
   will take place at the same time (maybe adding records or so).
 * Anyways, nothing to worry about, the plugin is definitely not increasing the 
   size of your database 😉

 * Hmm its a brand new site only visited by me ^^. Only makes sense if it read the
   database size wrong since it did delete a lot of revisions. Or the drop/recreate
   table actually made it bigger.
 * Anyway on my other website total savings are 49 MB so I am sure it will come 
   out of the negative soon :).
