Follow-up Comment #21, bug #54662 (project octave):
The difference in size is probably due to the fact that we switched to
llvmpipe which performs orders of magnitudes faster than softpipe on some
scenes (see bug #54396).
That switch is probably also the reason why the newer dll no longer works on
Windows XP:

So if you are interested in creating a Windows XP compatible Octave, the way
forward is probably to try and get a working (albeit veeeery slow) softpipe
OpenGL renderer.
