Hello,
I am caching flames with division of 0.02. Is it common for the file size to go up to 3 gb per frame even at 17th frame when its just starting?
Thanks
Pyro cache file size

saving with sim files is different with bgeo files !
When you save your file in the sim files ,You have all of the data and history of the simulations in this file (like Collision objects) ,So you can continue your simulation after last saved sim file every time that you like !
But in the bgeo method ,You don't have any chance to continue your simulation after certain frame later (e.g when your system restarted ) ! exactly like saving your pyro without any History !!!
Yes ,You can use *.bgeo.gz to compress your bgeo files ,Also you can use “Explicit Cache” and turn On “Compress .sim Files” option to compress every sim file on the Disk !
But this is obviously that your writing and reading time is slower than normal files !
In this case I using SSD partition ,It's so faster than normal partition for reading and wrting cache files
Another is to use Linux if you can .
Reading and Writing time on the ex4 partition is faster than ntfs partition 8)
