Okay, here's the results including Warps PCM with 'extra compression'
turned on, and also with a POV mesh2 file.  By the way, I went hunting
around for a way to create mesh2 files without reason... Warps program
includes mesh2 output.

Strata StudioPro (.vis)         1.29M
3D Studio          (.3ds)        1.35M
TrueSpace         (.cob)        1.88M
Warps PCM      (.pcm)       2.51M     <====== with xtra compression
Imagine              (.iob)         2.64M
DirectX              (.x)            2.75M
Warps PCM      (.pcm)       3.12M     <====== without extra compression
POV mesh2       (.inc)         3.23M     <====== mesh2 from WinMeshComp
Renderman         (.rib)         3.64M
VRML               (.wrl)         4.67M
Wavefront          (.obj)         5.04M
Renderware       (.rwx)         5.54M
AutoCAD          (.dxf)          6.04M
Alias                   (.tri)           7.40M
OpenGL C code (.c)            7.68M
QuickDraw 3D   (.3dm)        8.13M
stereolithography (.stl)           11.8M
POV                   (.pov)        12.6M
Pro/E                  (.slp)          16.8M
Lightscape           (.lp)           19.1M

Pretty impressive... with the extra compression turned on, Warps PCM
file is one of the smallest in the list.
