mesa upgrade very large

When I ran sudo pacman -Syu on 25 October I noticed that the net change in disk space was over 200MiB.
The culprit is mesa which reports installed size as 282.9MB, from a download of 19.7MB.

Package (12)         Old Version         New Version         Net Change  Download Size
...
extra/libglvnd       1.2.0-3             1.2.0-5              -0.06 MiB       0.30 MiB
extra/mesa           19.2.1-2            19.2.2-1            201.22 MiB      19.73 MiB

Why is version 19.2.2-1 so much bigger?
