Tags are really small.. only a few bytes. The module size is more likely due to the number of stored revisions (especially if there are binaries in there). I wouldn't worry about it though... disk space is cheap. Tags don't change the performance measurably.. they have to be parsed but it takes only a tiny amount of time compared to the parsing of the file itself. Tony
