Strange, in my experience the spacing (esp vertically) is tighter and less 
pages are used most times. (An engraving of all Goudimel psalms takes 141 
pages in 2.13.10 and only 131 in 2.13.35.) May be something else is going on 
in your score? A long time ago I had very strange horizontal spacing problems 
(with large gaps) that went away when I used --disable-optimising at the 
./configure command line.
