machine.info() 'System free heap' very different between 1.13.0.b1 and 1.15.0.b1 on Lopy4

[gbeardall]

Not sure what machine.info() 'System free heap' field is telling me exactly but it is a third of its previous value: 1.15.0.b1 =390096, 1.13.0.b1 = 1161380.
I toggled between the 2 updates without changing my code.
Has the 1.15.0.b1 update really used up that much memory when compared to 1.13.0.b1?
