'--tune xxx' and psy settings often increase the file size for a given CFR. So when disabled or overruled (e.g. by --tune ssim) the file size will become smaller. It also depends on the source.

See the discussion here

If the files are bigger they are also higher quality though? I was just confused as to why they were larger as its supposedly less efficent to use ssim.
