That's not the case for me (the sizes are mixed up on the page).The normal one is 13.15 kb for me and the packed on is 6.73kb. If you pack using the Base62 encode option you can get it even smaller.
Thanks Sam, i repacked it and got down to 5,2 KB. Updated the page to reflect the changes: http://lovepeacenukes.com/tablesorter/2.0/
