Plus sign confusing when size decreased #359

Open louwers opened 1 year ago

We had the following output:

  +7.9%  -270Ki    programs.cpp.o

Which caused a bit of confusion: the size decreased absolutely, but the percentage increased?

I think it would be less confusing if the percentage was not a fraction of the new size, but instead a ratio of the new and old size.
