Based on the GroupDocs.Total 25.9 change log, it is supposed to be smaller than 25.8 with the removal of GroupDocs.Classification.
However, the GroupDocs.Total.DLL is actually 40MB larger than the previous 25.8 version.
Expectation was that the latest DLL should be smaller.

Noticed that the size increase is only for the GroupDocs.Total.NETFramework release.
The non-NETFramework release is smaller than the previous version.
GroupDocs.Total reduced size by 53MB from 354MB to 301MB.
GroupDocs.Total.NETFramework increased size by 40MB from 254MB to 294MB.

Iām sorry for the delayed response.
I have reviewed the changes made in the context of the GroupDocs.Total 25.9 release and found that one issue was missing from the release notes. Although the issue was fixed, the fix required adding an internal OCR model to the GroupDocs.Total.NETFramework package, which resulted in an increase in the package size.
Since the OCR model was already included in the GroupDocs.Total package, its overall size was reduced due to the removal of GroupDocs.Classification. The Classification component was included only in the GroupDocs.Total package.
I apologize for the inconvenience. To clarify this issue, I have updated the GroupDocs.Total for .NET 25.9 Release Notes.
