Huge discrepancy for minified size? about webpack-visualizer HOT 4 OPEN

Oh wow, I just found out that the minified size is just the proportion of the output bundle. In the case of React that is very inaccurate because a lot of code is snipped when compiling for production.

I was thinking that the minified sizes were a reasonable estimate, but that is not the case here.

So maybe the warning about the minified size should be changed to be "minified sizes are an estimation based solely on the raw size".

+1 here. Tried to debug the same situation. React in app bundle size was 60kb, size of react in separate bundle was 20kb.

Made line by line comparison of each file in the minimised bundle. Result:

1. There was indeed some additional files added by react-addons which added 14kb.
2. But each of the common file was exactly the same size and length.

So full size must be 34kb, not 60kb. Same results as @wmertens for react-dom. Even worse for lodash.

+1 My bundle visualization says react-dom is 2M actual / 512.1k raw I can't correlate that to what I see in node_modules/react-dom/dist:

I think that this is same issue as webpack-contrib/webpack-bundle-analyzer#161
