I'm noticing a project I have takes a long time to save (about 30sec). The project file is about 80MB.

Is this normal or are there things that I need to manage to keep projects from bloating too much?

I guess that depends, do you really have 80 MB worth of stuff in your scene?

Besides that seeming like a huge scene, but something totally possible with large numbers of objects using large numbers of Mantra Surface shaders, you could experiment with HOUDINI_BUFFERED_SAVE to see if that helps you.

Btw, check out %> hconfig - H
