Not sure if there is any downside (I've been using it for a long time without problems), but image cleanup often does wonders for me.

Moose image
410 MB => cleanup (World -> System -> Do Image Cleanup) => save =>  237 MB
and I even had situations where it went from ~600 MB to ~60 MB.
(As to why my images are so massive... right now there are 19 windows opened inside most of them with opened roassal visualization... and I am saving like every five minutes... but that is just a guess.)

But image cleanup is supposed to break things, so better to backup the folder first.
Plus is cache really necessary? I mean it's a cache. .image + .changes should usually suffice.

Tudor I dont know if you received my message but I already answered that with this:

"ah ok then its normal. Yes the structure is extensive, its 13 folders (the rest 71 are files some of them very big), I would not be surprised if each contains 100 files in its own subfolders."

Hi,

But, do you confirm that you have many files under the mentioned folder?

Cheers,

the image is 180 mb, changes are another 15, there are several other folders that raise the total size to 250 mb, monticello-cache and github-cache prodominately.

Hmm ok my bad, the size of the zip is 89 MB not 200 mb. Still will take me 1-2 hours to upload on this connection. So if you guys still need the image i can upload tommorow from work, though it seems my slow down is normal.

Afterall I am sure you can test it yourselves on complex file structures to see if it has delays as long as 20 minutes.

If the image is 200 MB zipped, how large is it in its normal state ?

For me, a 100 MB image file is already quite large, that would compress to maybe 20/30 MB.

This doesn't sound right to me, unless you explicitly tried to store a lot of data.

Maybe something else is wrong that would explain the slowness.
