  The current version has only a more or less experimental mesh2 output and
it may not be the most optimal possible (besides not supporting uv-mapping
and so on). The next version will have full support for reading and writing
mesh2s.

  I suppose that those three with best compression use some binary format
and that's how they achieve the small size. The PCM format is just ASCII.
