However, if I add a lot of data, only then will it move onto 2.5KB. Why does the size increase in steps rather than what it actually should be? Maybe any alignments used which force to jump in codesize ?  |

The on disc PE format aligns each section to 2^9 bytes. It is normal.

This is due to PE file format, no disc or disk. This had been already discussed, I just can't find the threads.
