What is confusing for me is that both the 6 Mega file and the 100 Mega file are Microsoft office documents that are not ASCAII encoded.
guyn@il-kblwe02>ls -1sh
total 153M
6.1M linking_optimization_results_small.xls
47M linking_optimization.txt
100M linking_optimization.xls
guyn@il-kblwe02>file linking_optimization_results_small.xls
linking_optimization_results_small.xls: Microsoft Office Document
guyn@il-kblwe02>file linking_optimization.xls
linking_optimization.xls: Microsoft Office Document
Also, they have the same amount of lines
guyn@il-kblwe02>wc -l linking_optimization.xls
+
+
304562 linking_optimization.xls
guyn@il-kblwe02>wc -l linking_optimization_results_small.xls
299554 linking_optimization_results_small.xls
So why is one so much larger than the other?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
