I noticed that the file hosted here is less than half the size of the one at archive.org.  What's the difference between the two?

Just resolution. The ADO version is 300 DPI without being resized to any exact pixel height. The intention of that is to preserve the physical measurement of the content. 300 DPI also makes for better English language OCR, which archive.org does automatically.

Although, at the suggestion of Jason Scott, I think I'll start uploading 600 DPI versions to ADO from now on. The files will be huge but they'll also be automatically converted into smaller, more manageable PDFs for online browsing, and various other smaller formats for offline use. So it's not like the 600 DPI version will be the one that everyone will read, just the solid base from which other formats can be derived, with superior OCR.
