On the recent changes page the change in size that the edits make is shown for each edit. Could it be possible to get a similar overview for the edits of a certain user?
The recentchanges table (used for Special:Recentchanges, watchlists etc) stores both the old and new page size, but the revision table (used for history pages and for Special:Contributions) only stores the new page size, so you can't calculate the change unless you look up the previous revision too. This would make Special:Contributions pretty expensive to run, so I doubt it's feasible.
