File size and CNC programs

Has anyone compared the .3dm file size, and G code produced from the same surface produced using different methods (NetWorkSrf, EdgeSrf, Patch, etc.)?

There shouldn’t really be any difference if the toolpath is programmed with the same parameters. Toolpaths are created from a mesh version of the surface, I guess the meshing methods of the different CAM programs might vary with the surface construction, even though they really shouldn’t.
