Difference in file of RPD created from POF vs Create config data RPD (Generate output_file_auto.rpd)

[AnandKulkarni]

Hi Team

I have a cylcone V code , with almost 32MB. When i convert using to RPD using POF,  the new RPD is almost of same size, that is 32MB.

But when i check box "Create config data RPD (Generate output_file_auto.rpd) option , using SOF as input file, its 4MB.

I referred to below link for more details, but did not make sense to me.

can you please elaborate more.
