It's large because the vector drawings are large, which is a result of

having (probably) many thousands of points and curves in each one. Vectors

can be more compact than bitmaps, but only when you limit the number of

points and curves. Autotracing must be set up pretty carefully, especially

with complex bitmaps, or the results can exceed the originals in file size.
