Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe the numbers n3td3v is looking for is how much code size the patches ADD to the system, not the actual size of the patches themselves.
OK, but that again is yet another different metric. And all it takes is a patch that includes new functionality (new/improved SATA drivers, etc) to make it very unclear what the number means. To its credit, Microsoft is usually pretty good about saving the big feature updates like adding a firewall for shipping in the Service Packs rather than the monthly patches....
