Database sizes

This is crazy. Checking the database sizes turns out that the default database size for Drupal 8, with no content in it, is larger than the database of this Drupal 7 site.

| Data Base Name     | Data Base Size in MB | Free Space in MB |

| drupal8            |          11.93750000 |     576.00000000 |
