Apps take up less space when on SD card?

I used "App 2 SD" to move numerous apps from phone storage to the SD card. For almost every app, I noticed that the total memory used dropped significantly after the app was moved. Why would that be? Why would moving an app to the SD card result in it taking up less memory than it did when it was in phone storage?
