curiously  I have built the same templates back to back on two machines with
machine depweb-a using depweb-b as pkg-cacher.  The machines are identical,
same manufacturer, same CPUs, same memory, same OS version and release
(centos 5.2).  On Depweb-a the compressed template images are consitantly
slightly larger than on DepWeb-b;

DepWeb-a:

any ideas what is causing the difference.  I checked and the uncompressed
sizes match.
