Bank file size diff with effects vs no effects

Hi,
While running some tests in attempt to get benchmark info on CPU and memory use with lost of dsp/effects loaded into Groups and event tracks I have noticed that the built bank file size increases as does the total count of files in the project.
Is this expected or should i look elsewhere for the cause?

I would expect the bank sizes to increase, as you are adding information to the events, although it is only very minimal for each effect.

As for file count, I would only expect to see new files added (metadata files that is) for new presets. The events effect information is stored in the metadata files of the events themselves.

Thanks Cameron.
I also noticed there actually had been a few extra files added that had a very high sample rate which probably contributed to the increased size as well.
I will account for these and check again.
