wallet.dat size in Bitcoin Core

wallet.dat size in Bitcoin Core Just created a new wallet using Bitcoin Core v0.15.1 (Windows x64), encrypted it with a password, and created one receiving address. The size of this wallet is 1 Mb. In comparison, my old wallet, with about a dozen receiving addresses and transactions, encrypted using the password of the exact same length, is only 100 Kb. I thought the 1 Mb is too large and suspicious. What could be the reason for this size? http://ift.tt/2BApKKI
