Filesize Rh7/VA2 vs Rh8/VA3 more than doubles

I have a big building facade file, done in Rh7+VARQ2. Majority of the geometry is VARQ beam objects.

I opened it up in Rh8 + VARQ3, and opting for the VA conversion. The filesize went from 700Mb to 1800Mb

Looking for clues from @fsalla or @enric, what could be the reason for this? Where to start?

@Toni_Osterlund Can you share that file (saved in R7-VA2) so we can figure out the reason for size increase?

I will send it via email.

Is Save Textures checked when you save? It’s turned on by default in R8 now, which is annoying as it automatically makes the file sizes huge.
