I'm using grub2 but some old version from RCD because new packages from 
TH won't fit into my MBR.
I have compared grub2-2.00-3 and Ubuntu grub-2.0 and almost all modules 
in PLD are bigger:

module,PLD,Ubuntu
ext2.mod,7608bytes,5784bytes
lvm.mod,6760bytes,6296bytes
msdospart,2956bytes,2412bytes

Anyone have idea why?
