Big (apparent) reduction in kernel.rpm size

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

I just did a "yum upgrade" and happened to notice this (edited highlights):

        Installing:
         kernel                  x86_64     2.6.25.10-86.fc9  updates            18 M
        
        [...]
        
        Removing:
         kernel                  x86_64     2.6.25.6-55.fc9  installed          70 M

>From 70M down to 18M? That's a heck of a new optimizer in gcc :-)

Just curious.
