If you include commas that's 23,233,560 characters, which would be 22.15 megabytes (at one byte per char). Maybe 22.45 is just a typo?

There are line breaks at a fixed interval so that it wraps at 80 chars. I imagine that makes up the other ~300KB.

Edit: Line-breaks do indeed make up the bulk of the overhead, but it's also an HTML page so there's some boilerplate markup at the beginning and end of the file.

Maybe document container formatting overhead? Filesystem/disk block sizes?
