Hi All,

I have 2 objects, A and B, where

object.size(A) = 5M and object.size(B) = 80M.

However, after I save those two objects as workspaces, say,

save(A, file = "A.Rdata") and save(B, file = "B.Rdata")

On disk, the size of 'A.Rdata' is 0.22 M but the size of 'B.Rdata' is 560M. 
Could someone tell me how come the workspace B.RData got increased so much and 
how to make it smaller?

Please read ?save: compression is on by default.

Many thanks.
