I'm not looking at the size of the rpms, I'm looking at installed sizes 
as reported by rpm -q --qf "%{SIZE}\n" -p <rpm>.

# rpm -q --qf '%{SIZE}\n' -p development/i386/ogre-1.2.5-1.fc7.i386.rpm
29476134
# rpm -q --qf '%{SIZE}\n' -p 6/i386/ogre-1.2.2-2.p1.fc6.i386.rpm
6374746

I installed ogre on my devel system however and the total installed size 
appears to be about 8476 KB.  So perhaps a bug in rpm's size calculation?

# rpm -ql ogre | xargs du -k | sort -n | awk '{ tot+=$1 }; END { print 
tot }'
8476
