Based on the numbers you provided, I have a hunch; are you referring the
message size *after* you've decoded it? If so, you need to take into
account that if the message is (for example) Base64-encoded, it has some
overhead due to the encoded values (as encoding packs multiple 8-byte
values into even more 7-byte values). The overhead is approximately the
size you're referring to. Other encodings have different sorts of
overhead, but all in all, encoded messages are usually somewhat larger
than their decoded counterparts.

Once again, I might be totally off the tangent here, and if the scenario
I've painted is not valid in this case, I sincerely apologise for having
jumped to conclusions :)
