Can't check anything from back then, but sure seems like you hit the change to a 32bit color instead of the prior 16bit between those revisions...

As features were added in the programming language, and as the number of keywords went up that may have impacted things slightly. The bigger problem always was the shitty memory management we had no control over as it came from the OS and which despite putting lots of tricks to try and avoid always ended up with badly fragmented memory...
