Often (though not always), a fast growing "Data.fs" indicates
problems. With the "fsdump" utility, you can get a
readable representation of your "Data.fs" (it will be huge,
of course, for a 400 MB "Data.fs").
You can look at it and see what types of objects are modified
in the various transactions.
If necessary, the objects can be analysed deeper.
