Haha, okay, glad you're having fun! Ok, I get it, I just didn't think my project was so complex, but maybe it is. In average I'd say each clip is composed of about 8-10 layers with 15 frames that are stretched over about ±200 frames. And the whole project contains about 20 clips.

Popping in to say - I'm working on a 5-min animation project with plenty scenes in the project file. It's like 16.8gb or something. I had to move the project to an external drive, something went wrong (maybe a memory leak or something when I saved and then started using other applications while it was saving) and it started eating up all the space on my local hard drive, I ended up with almost no space, from about 140gb down to 300mb or something wild.
Anyways, huge file, and I must say when I'm working in TVPaint it's pretty quick to draw and CTG fill stuff etc. so I don't really have complaints there, but I found turning off 'compression' in the Preferences > Save menu makes it save a little bit (20%?) faster at least. I timed it - it's around 1min to save the file, and then another min or so until I can work on the project again as TVP seems to freeze for a while after the save progress bar completes.
