TM Saving a .tmi material to your user library seems awfully big in MB ?

Hi

I just saved out a brick material from my user library. The brick texture has a size of 7 MB and the normal bump map 3 MB. The saved .tmi brick material file is 59 MB ! That is really large for 1 single material.

Anybody know why this is happening and is there a solution to make this smaller ?

Cheers Carsten
