You're not really losing any space, you may actually me /gaining/
space on the harddisk.
The reason for this size difference is that PFS allocates all the
filespace for filenames/dir structures when you format it, while FFS
saves it when writing files.
IIRC PFS also uses less space for the file system structures, so if
you tried to copy 500megs of FFS files over you'd probably be left
with more free space at the end of it.
See ya :)
