Ffmpeg and a very big logfile

I was converting a movie during the night with ffmpeg. x264_2pass.log.mbtree was 20Gb. Thats rather big I think. I am using this command:
ffmpeg -i Batman-The\ Dark\ Knight.m4v -y -pass 1 -an -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow_firstpass -vpre ipod640 -b 1500k -bt 1000k -threads 0 -s 800x480 -aspect 16:9 -f ipod Batman-TheDarkKnight.mp4
It can't be correct that the log should be 10 times bigger then the original size of the movie. What is wrong?
