"For a folder containing 10 files, a Scionic branch needs just 5 leaves, while a Merkle DAG branch requires all 10. This makes the Scionic branch about 2x smaller.

When the folder contains 1000 files, a Scionic branch uses only 11 leaves, compared to the full 1000 required by a Merkle DAG branch. This results in the Scionic branch being approximately 90x smaller."
