The Layout caches all the content of the viewports. This can often double or triple your file size. You can turn this off, but then you would have to wait for every viewport to rebuild every time you viewed a sheet.

The larger file size is the lesser of two evils.

"Viewport" is AutoCAD terminology. Viewpoint or View.

In this instance, placed View.
