Number of docs are the same in the index for both the cases (200,000).
I haven't altered the benchmark/ code, but, used a profiler to verify that Benchmark main thread is closed only after all other threads are closed.

Hmm... this doesn't sound right.

That example (ThreadedIndexWriter) is meant to be a drop-in
replacement, wherever you use an IndexWriter, that keeps an
under-the-hood thread pool (using java.util.concurrent.*) to
add/update documents with multiple threads.

It should not result in a smaller index.

Can you sanity check the index?  Eg is numDocs() the same for both?
You definitely called close() on the writer, right?  That method waits
for all threads to finish their work before actually closing.

While trying out a few tuning options using contrib/benchmak as described in
LIA (2nd edition) book, I had an interesting observation.

If I use a ThreadedIndexWriter (picked the example from lia2e, page 356) instead of IndexWriter, the index size got reduced by 40% compared to using
IndexWriter.
Index related configuration were the same for both the tests in the alg
file.

I am curious how come using a threaded index writer will have an impact on
the index size.

Appreciate your input.
