we also work on large projects and keeping the file size down has been an issue for me for a while now.
this is slightly off your original topic, however i recently discovered that turning off the option to "Save Navigator Preview Data With Project Files" in "2D Redraw Options..." drastically cut the files sizes down - in one case from 88MB to 38MB !!!

this helps immensely with opens/saves/send and receives! it is also extremely effective where you have a lot of section/detail windows and many viewsets generated from them with a LOT of 2D work in them.
