Sorry, I should have mentioned that it was created with
"--ignore-all-space" option, so using the same option when applying the
patch would have worked.

But to avoid any confusion, here's the re-created patch, that should apply
cleanly with just 'git am'.

Short answer: muxing done by libwebpmux is different, so it's expected that
it generates smaller WebP files.

Detailed answer:
The native muxer is naive, and it always uses X offset and Y offset of 0
for all frames. This means the full width x height of all frames are
encoded.
libwebpmux muxer is smart on the other hand: for example, it only encodes
the part of the frame which has changed from previous frame.
This and other optimizations result in smaller WebP files.

Thanks,
Urvang
