Cheryl,

I can't say I understand what's going on.  There shouldn't be any issue 
with tile-size differences as that is just a mechanism of how the raster 
is broken down, stored and accessed.

In my testing and production use, performance benefits greatly from 
having smaller tile sizes.  Most if not all my rasters use tile sizes 
smaller than 50x50.
