[netcdfgroup] file sizes: netCDF classic vs. netCDF-4

Hi all,

When converting classical netCDF files to their modern format (compare
the thread starting at [1]) I noticed that the file size blows up
considerably, e.g.
```
$ du -sh pacman-classical.e
40K pacman-classical.e
$ nccopy -k hdf5 pacman-classical.e pacman.e
$ du -sh pacman.e
4.1M pacman.e
```
with `pacman-classical.e` from [2]. I'm not too worried about this
now, but is this something you would expect?

Cheers,
Nico
