According to my experience, Those parts are come with an extra:

Always:

Dark Grey 2/3 pin
Grey Half Pin
Grey Half Bush (both smooth and w/tooth  versions)
Rubber Bands (smaller ones)
8 Tooth Gear
1x1 Round Plates (all colors)
1x1 Tiles (all colors)
Minifig Helmet Visors
Minifig WW Style Pistols
Minifig Pirate Style Swords
Town scale Flowers (all colors)
Small Lever

Usually:

Grey Full Bush
Grey Full Pin
Black Full Pin

In rare occasions:
1x1 Rectangular Plates

There may some others that I couldn't remember right now.

I think they are trying to eliminate the possibility of ANYONE of those
little piece could be missing.

But the weight issue isn't always the reason for extra pieces.  Set #8247,
the Technic Road Rebel, is a little 47-piece set.  It has 3 extra Technic
bits: a smooth half-bush, a full bush, and 3/4 pin.  I haven't found any
reason for those extra pieces.  They aren't used in the alternate model.

Hi, only just noticed but packs 5315 and 5316 should contain pairs of
1x1 round plates, but actually (In Australia anyway) 3 of each colour!
I've noticed that in sets over the last few years they always added
extra small pieces to make up even pairs of parts, but is this 3
instead of 2 thing a problem on Lego's part, or a way to us like them
a little better (it's not working!).

Thanks
