While new iPad apps are definitely getting larger as they up the resolution of their artwork, a personal photo moved from the old iPad to to new one shouldn't have gotten larger. My photo library didn't increase in size when I restored my old iPad data to my new one. A 1 MB image saved on your old iPad should still only take up 1 MB of storage on your new one. Photos taken with the 5 MP camera in the new iPad will be MUCH larger than those taken with the 0.7 MP camera in the iPad 2.

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
