huge files

[A. R. Van Hook]

We have been using GnuCash for several months for a small business 
(bridal shop) with a dozen or so invoices per day. The 'tared' weekly 
data files are huge, > 500M!
 Is this normal or do we have configuration problems?
thanks

system: Redhat 9.0
             GnuCash 1.8.8
