Why do the nightly Snapshot Builds from [University of Utah](https://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/snapshots/) and [Northwestern University](http://plt.cs.northwestern.edu/snapshots/) vary so much in size?

I tend to use the University of Utah snapshots because they are usually smaller.

best wishes

The ones at Northwestern are "Racket plus Tests", where the addition of "main-distribution-test" package makes the size difference.
