Images in LR and finder 10% of the size they should be?!

Hi guys,
I just imported every photo I've ever taken into LR (21,000+ images, took about 4 days!). I had previously imported them into an Aperture trial, but Aperture was stupidly, impossibly slow, so now I imported them into LR. When I view them both in Finder and the "Develop" window, they're about 10% of the size they should be. When I zoom to even 25%, they're all pixellated.
Of course, I"m freaked out that all of my images were somehow reduced 90%, though I have no idea how this could have possibly happened. Anyone know what the deal is?
Alec

More detail:
It seems LR imported 10,269 images as thumbnails (approximately half of my 21,366 photo library) to a folder 2000>December 31, with the files dates renamed (as I specified) as "Date-Number" (ex: 20060710-14857). These files are what shows up when I click "Reveal in Finder" from LR.
However, when I look in the LR-created folder 2006>July 10, the actual files are still there and intact. Why doesn't LR show these files when I click "Reveal in Finder"? Why a huge folder of thumbnails the size of half my library?
Did Aperture make thumbnails and then LR imported them?
I don't get it - can any explain to me what's going on here?
