So the file size was 30% higher implies that the number of updates is larger and therefore there is instability? I 
see the logic but if you scroll thru that page (the whole month of November) there are tons of >1M files. Trying to

This is an easy benchmark to gauge overall stability.  Large files mean something was unstable.  Then you need to 
actually look at them to see *why*.  Also since the files are compressed you lose some visibility into what is really 
in them.
