Which core for ATTiny85?

I'm using the attiny85 to program addressable leds and I found DrAzzy's core produced larger programs when compiled than damellis' version.

So even though the project is 4+ years old and apparently abandoned, I went with that because it freed up much needed space for additional led animations versus the newer core from DrAzzy.

I was a bit disappointed the newer core had more bloat in it apparently?
