Material instancing on the advanced aspect of the Material Editor can make a large difference in file size, as can using smaller textures. Clearing the undo by setting the undo history to zero before saving can help as well.

 Switching the bridge off may reduce sizes also. Note that the scenes and objects are now "self contained" and contain the texture map images when you save them (unlike earlier versions of tS which just stored pointers to the location of the images on your HD) - this means you can just send a scene or object to someone and it loads with everything intact, whereas before you had to Archive the object first (or send all the image files in their correct folders). In case you were wondering why the file size is larger than older versions of tS :)


HTH!
