When adding event groups to the group list, insert them in size order. This performs an insertion sort on the group list. By placing the largest groups at the front of the group list it is possible to see if a larger group contains the same events as a later group. This can make the later group redundant - it can reuse the events from the large group. A later patch will add this sharing.
