Why the huge difference in DUF file sizes?

Why are some DUF scene files less than 100 KB and others are over 20 MB? It can't just be the number of items in the scene. The large ones are filled with sections that look kind of like this snipet:

     {
      "bone" : "abdomen",
      "figure_map" : {
       "count" : 2362,
       "values" : [ [ 17146, 1 ], [ 17147, 1 ], [ 17149, 1 ], [ 17153, 1 ], [ 17154, 1 ], [ 17159, 1 ], [ 17160, 1 ],
 [ 17166, 1 ], [ 17167, 1 ], [ 17188, 1 ], [ 17189, 1 ], [ 17191, 1 ], [ 17214, 1 ], [ 17217, 1 ], [ 17251, 1 ],
 [ 17252, 1 ], [ 17254, 1 ], [ 17258, 1 ], [ 17259, 1 ], [ 17264, 1 ], [ 17266, 1 ], [ 17271, 1 ], [ 17275, 1 ],

Large DUF scene files means very little of what was in the scene was already in the DSF format, when you saved it most of your scene will have been converted to DSF and stored in the "data/auto_adapted" folder, it will also have written most of that data into the DUF scene file.

The smaller files either have nothing but Genesis/TriAx content in the scene, or have very little that needs converted to DSF.

Just curious, why was the file format changed?

The first part of the documentation should explain why the new format:
