224M uncompressed. A quick test just compressing the file with xz on my system shows it compresses to around 11M, though, so that's probably all it adds up to after compression (the image is an xz-compressed squashfs)
Isn't the compression block-based? I think it would be interesting to measure the image size with the file removed.
I'll try it tomorrow, it's not too hard.
Have you posted the outcome of the experiment somewhere?
Thanks, Florian
