opatch size difference on different platforms

I downloaded the July CPU and the latest opatch from updates.oracle.com.

On two platforms, Linux and Solaris(Sparc) the opatch zip files were about 25MB.  On the third platform, Solarix-X86/64 it was 1.1MB.  The sizes and checksums of the patch match metalink, but I have to wonder why the big size difference?
