Sims that have many changes will have large databases. However, most of the database is highly repetitive, leading it to compress extremely well. This is just how databases normally operate. Still, if LiSE is to be used on low-spec machines, it would be impolite to consume more space than necessary.
A file-based data store using the Parquet format might do the trick.
