I have a 1,287 KB CAD file that is linked into a floor plan view. This is so it can be cropped, as it is a very large riser diagram. In Revit's Manage Links, I'm finding that Revit's size for the same file is 20.2MB. This is happening on multiple occasions and I'm finding Revit to be incredibly slow, especially when loading the project, it slows down to a crawl when "linking" and can take 20 minutes to load. I believe these inflated file sizes to be the issue for the intolerable performance I'm experiencing. Any help or insight would be great. Thanks!

The newer CAD file formats are basically 'zipped' files. So that you experience a difference in file size is not unexpected.
Working with non-native formats tends to slow down Revit. You can imagine that a lot of conversion has to be done internallly.
So the more non-Revit items you have in your project the bigger the hit on performance of Revit.
The solution is therefore to limit the non-revit amount of information.
-Do you have to link all files at once? Otherwise load only files needed.
-Can you convert some things to native Revit?
-When linking files do you need all the information from the CAD file? Otherwise clean it up before linking.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
I have the same issue. My final file with those links are getting huge in bytes! Question is, all my links are other revit files, even though, the final file are huge! Even when I unload dwg links. Did it happened to you? How to make more lite files when linking revit models?
