Sure this 1.25gb:2500files is not massive - But if this little conspiracy theory is true it is easy to imagine them doing this sort of file padding in other systems as well. A little bit here and there adds up quick.

"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."

Personally, I think it is likely the padding was created for future use. Maybe tagging or some other meta data.
