You are running in Unicode mode but reading a sav file that is encoded in code page mode.  Strings widths are tripled in that case in order to ensure no loss of data when the characters are converted from a code page encoding to Unicode.  This should make no difference to your work in most cases, however, you can change Statistics to run in code page mode via Edit >Options.  You should read the help available there about working in Unicode or code page.
