saveAs illustrator 10 using script results in much larger file (4X)

I made a script that saves a CS file as an Illustrator 10 document. I've noticed that when I use the script, the file is much larger than when I use the "Export/Illustrator legacy" dialog box in the application with default settings.

Example:
CS file: 990KB
10 file using menu item: 689KB
10 file using script: 2757KB

I am using all of the default settings for IllustratorSaveOptions except for compatibility:
illustratorSaveOptions.compatibility = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR10;

I've also tried manually setting compressed to true and embedAllFonts to false but it still makes a huge file.

Any ideas?
