I have a CouchDB database that has 2.5 million documents, and takes up about 597MB on the filesystem. When I replicate to another database on the same system, the size of the replica is 1.4GB. I have deleted and recreated both the source and target databases from scratch, and populated the source. So the replica is totally new, and doesn't have any other data in it.
