No, not again... RAW or JPEG

Just kidding, folks. This really isn't another thread about 'is RAW better than JPEG'.

However, I am curious about one thing.

Shooting RAW+, if I take a PEF file, import it into CS3, export it unmodified to max quality JPG, I get a JPG file that's much bigger (about twice as big) than the corresponding JPG straight out of the camera.

Any idea why?

My guess would be different compression algorithm or settings??
Photoshop used to save JPEG in quality varying from 1-10. I noticed Photoshop now saves up to quality 12. If you chose 12, it probably has less compression than what the camera uses and results in larger images.
