My Data.fs is growing by an average 200K each time I add an object to my application. .... I have a full text index that is rather lengthy. It handles the container object and all subobjects (possibly 200+ 'data element' objects). Once I removed my full text index, the size decreased to about 27K per operation.
You should be aware that full text indexes are always expensive in terms of space and time. A full text index may well require several times the space of your original text. However, in your case, the factor seems to be about 8 which is astonishing high. You may have luck in looking for a text index with less features (e.g. without ranking). Having less features may reduce space requirements. Dieter
