hi

qvw is a compressed file, much like a zip-file.

qvd is optimized for loading data so it's less or no compression. It also starts with an XML-description of the data.

Its normal.

Qvw will compress data.

Have a look at attached documents and posts

in the document property of qvw file gen tab set the compression to normal - save close the file and check the size of the qvw file.
