As explained in the "What's going to happen?" section of the UI, a number of things aren't copied (that shouldn't be), including temporary files, swap files, sleep images, the Spotlight index, caches...this can easily add up to 10GB. (Just the sleep images, for example, can be as large as the amount of memory in the Mac.)
