yes, that's all. 
The old version simplified the areas, the newer doesn't.
The size increases so heavily because each point
is saved with a 6 bits higher precision (each for lon + lat),
and no simplification happens. 
I think this is not needed for boundary data, but I found no simple
way to produce the old result.
